Parameters

**Table 1** Descriptions of the parameters for IMA Group States
Field	Value	Description
VCTRUNK	Slot number - Board name - Sub-slot number - Sub-board name - Sub-board port number (Trunk number) Example: 5-MP1-1-CD1-1(Trunk-1)	Display the VCTRUNK.
Near-End Group Status	Not Configured, Start-Up, Start-Up-ACK, Config-Aborted, Insufficient-Links, Blocked, Operational	Display the near-end group status. Not Configured: The group does not exist. Start-Up: This end is in the Start-Up status and is waiting to be indicated that the far-end is also in the Start-Up status. Start-Up-ACK: This is a transitional state. When both the near-end and far-end groups start-up, they move to this state. Config-Aborted: This state is entered when the far-end tries to apply unacceptable configuration parameters. Insufficient-Links: This state implies that the group has accepted the far-end group parameters and has been indicated that the far-end has also accepted its own group parameters, and does not have sufficient links to move into the Operational state. Blocked: The group is blocked (for example, inhibited by the UM). The group can be blocked for maintenance purposes while sufficient links are Active in both transmitting and receiving directions. Operational: The group is not inhibited and has sufficient links in both transmitting and receiving directions.
Far-End Group Status	Not Configured, Start-Up, Start-Up-ACK, Config-Aborted, Insufficient-Links, Blocked, Operational	Display the Far-end group status. Not Configured: The group does not exist. Start-Up: This end is in the Start-Up status and is waiting to be indicated that the far-end is also in the Start-Up status. Start-Up-ACK: This is a transitional state. When both the near-end and far-end groups start-up, they move to this state. Config-Aborted: This state is entered when the far-end tries to apply unacceptable configuration parameters. Insufficient-Links: This state implies that the group has accepted the far-end group parameters and has been indicated that the far-end has also accepted its own group parameters, and does not have sufficient links to move into the Operational state. Blocked: The group is blocked (for example, inhibited by the UM). The group can be blocked for maintenance purposes while sufficient links are Active in both transmitting and receiving directions. Operational: The group is not inhibited and has sufficient links in both transmitting and receiving directions.
Transmit Rate (cells/s)	For example: 1000	Display the transmit rate.
Receive Rate (cells/s)	For example: 1000	Display the receive rate.
Number of Transmit Links	1 to 32	Display the number of transmit links.
Number of Receive Links	1 to 32	Display the number of receive links.
Number of Activated Transmit Links	1 to 32	Display the number of activated transmit links.
Number of Activated Receive Links	1 to 32	Display the number of activated receive links.
