# Switches screen details

The Switches master pane lists all of the switches you have added using logical switches.

- General

- Ports

- Additional switch port details

- Switch port advanced statistics

- Edit switch

Use the filter on the Switches screen to display one type of switch, or all switches. The filter is set to `All types` by default.

## General

Screen component | Description
--- | ---
Model | Model of the supported switch; for example, `N5K-C5548UP`.
Chassis ID | Unique identifier of the switch.
Firmware | Version of firmware activated on the switch.
Location | The location of the device in a physical rack. The term `not set` means that you have not added the device to the rack configuration.
Powered by | Link to the Power Delivery Devices screen and the device supplying power to the switch.
State | Current state of the switch:
`Configured` | Switch is configured or can be configured
`ConfigError` | Switch cannot be configured
`Unmanaged` | Switch cannot be managed because its firmware version is unsupported, and is most likely, too old
`Unsupported` | Switch type is unexpected and not a supported switch type
IP address | IP address of the switch.
vPC member ID | Switch ID in the vPC configuration.
vPC role | Displays the Cisco Virtual PortChannel (vPC) role of `Primary` or `Secondary` for Cisco Nexus switches.
vPC peer | Displays the vPC peer switch name for Cisco Nexus switches.
Logical switch | Hyperlink to associated logical switch.
Used by | Hyperlink to the HPE OneView-managed Cisco Fabric Extender for HPE BladeSystem modules that are connected to the switch.

## Ports

Screen component | Description
--- | ---
Port status icon | Indicates the status of the port.
Port | Port numbers for Cisco Nexus switches with expansion slots have a format of `slot_number`.`port_number`. The slot number for the main module is `1`.
Type | Port type: `none`, `Ethernet`, `Stacking`, or `FIBRE_CHANNEL`.
State | State of the port: Possible states are:
Linked | The port is physically linked to the interconnect.
Unlinked | The port is not physically linked to the interconnect.
Disabled | The port has been disabled from the Edit interconnect screen.
Speed (Gb/s) | Port speed, in Gb/s.
Connected To | The peer switch to which the top-of-rack switch is connected using a stacking link.
Port Name | Vendor-specific port name.
Port Channel | Port channel ID. A port channel bundles up to eight individual physical ports into a group to provide increased bandwidth and redundancy.
vPC Number | Virtual PortChannel (vPC) ID. A vPC allows links that are physically connected to two different Cisco Nexus top-of-rack switches to appear as a single PortChannel to a FEX interconnect module.

## Additional switch port details

Click the icon to expand the additional details section of an uplink port, and click the icon to collapse it.

The fields below are populated automatically. You cannot change them.

Connector | This section displays data when a transceiver module is inserted.
Type | Type of transceiver module inserted, either `SFP` (Small Form-factor Pluggable Transceiver), SFP+ (10GB/s) or QSFP+ (40GB/s Quad Small Form-factory pluggable only supported with HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 interconnects)
Extended Identifier | Hexadecimal number that identifies the device (vendor specific) connected to the uplink port
Vendor | Name of the vendor that manufactured the device connected to the port
Vendor OUI | Unique 24–bit OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) assigned to the vendor by the IEEE Registration Authority
Part Number | Part number of the device connected to the port
Revision | Hardware revision number of the device connected to the uplink port
VLAN IDs | VLAN identification numbers along with associated networks (if any) configured on this port. If a network exists for a VLAN ID, a hyperlink is provided for that network.
Advanced Statistics | This section displays port level advanced statistics counters.

## Switch port advanced statistics

Top-of-rack port statistics

Port statistics | Description
--- | ---
IfInOctets | The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
IfOutOctets | The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
IfInDiscards | The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. For example, discarding such a packet can free buffer space.
IfOutDiscards | The output drops as shown in the `show interfaces` command.
IfInUcastPkts | The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher (sub-)layer, that were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer.
IfOutUcastPkts | The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted, and which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-layer, including those that were discarded or not sent.
IfInErrors | For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors that prevent them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors that prevent them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
IfOutErrors | For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units that could not be transmitted because of errors.

## Edit switch

Screen component | Description
--- | ---
Port | Port numbers for Cisco Nexus switches with expansion slots have a format of `slot_number`.`port_number`. The slot number for the main module is `1`.
Type | Port type: `none`, `Ethernet`, `Stacking`, or `FIBRE_CHANNEL`.
Enabled | Modify the status of a port by selecting the box to enable the port, or clear the box to disable the port. Ports which are linked but not managed by HPE OneView cannot be enabled or disabled and will display `n/a` instead of a check box.
State | State of the port: Possible states are:
Linked | The port is physically linked to the interconnect.
Unlinked | The port is not physically linked to the interconnect.
Disabled | The port has been disabled from the Edit interconnect screen.
Speed (Gb/s) | Port speed, in Gb/s.
Connected To | The peer switch to which the top-of-rack switch is connected using a stacking link.
