Cabletron Systems SEHI-32/34 Checking Device Status and Updating Front Panel Info, Contact, 2-10

Using the SEHI Hub View

•Active Ports displays either YES or NO for any active (green) port, indicating whether or not that port has seen any traffic at all since the device was last initialized or the counters were last reset; this port display form can tell you whether any port whose statistics are not currently incrementing has seen some activity in the past. Non-green (presumably inactive) ports will display three dashes (---), regardless of their past statistical activity.
