Figure 5-12. The Port Status Indicators and Legend

The Port Status indicators show a symbol for each port that indicates the general status of the port. There are four possible statuses:

Port Connected – the port is enabled and is properly connected to an active network device.

Port Not Connected – the port is enabled but is not connected to an active network device. A cable may not be connected to the port, or the device at the other end may be powered off or inoperable, or the cable or connected device could be faulty.

Port Disabled – the port has been configured as disabled through the web browser interface, the switch console, or SNMP network manage­ ment.

Port Fault-Disabled– a fault condition has occurred on the port that has caused it to be auto-disabled. Note that the Port Fault-Disabled symbol will be displayed in the legend only if one or more of the ports is in that status. See appendix B, “Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Opera­ tion” for more information.
