Viewing switch information 3

If the entire port icon is blue, the port is buffer-limited. (A port is operating in buffer-limited mode

when the number of buffers allocated to the port is less than the number of buffers needed by the

port to utilize the port at full bandwidth.)

If a group of port icons is gray (unavailable), those ports are not licensed.

Figure 27 shows port icons and associated LEDs from a Brocade 6510 switch. The layout is similar

for all switches, but varies according to switch type.
