•INV (invalid configuration) — the port is in an unrecognized state.
•TST (testing) — the port is in a testing mode.
Type
A switch interface’s Type is a dynamic value determined by the type of node to which the interface is connected:
•Ntwk (network) — a Network interface is connected to another switch.
•Access — an Access interface is connected to an end node (a single user, a shared resources such as a server or print, or a
•Hybrid — though this feature is not yet supported, future firmware versions will allow a switch interface to service both another switch and an end node. This kind of configuration could occur, for example, on an FDDI ring.
•GoAcc (going to access) — a transitional state experienced by an interface which is in the process of switching to access mode.
•Unkn (unknown) — on
Switch Port Color Codes
The color codes assigned to each port interface in Switch Application mode indicate the following status conditions:
•Red — the port is administratively enabled, but not operational. This state generally indicates that a network problem has shut down the port, even though it is still administratively enabled; it can also indicate an invalid port configuration.
•Blue — the port is both administratively and operationally disabled.
•Green — the port is administratively enabled and operational.
•Yellow — the port is in a transitional state: an operational status of either enable or disable is pending, or the port has been administratively disabled, but is (temporarily) still operational.
•Magenta — the port is in a transitional testing mode.
Note that the color coding scheme is the same regardless of the port display form selected.
