Monitor Panel (Port List Page)
A row of information for each port (0 through 11 inclusive) appears.
Each row consists of the following columns:
• Port # - Switch port number.
• Name - Port name of 24 alphanumeric characters or less. The
name typically characterizes the device or fabric element to which
the port is attached.
• Block Configuration - Indicates if a port is blocked or unblocked.
Blocking a port prevents the attached devices or fabric element
from communicating. A blocked port continuously transmits the
offline sequence (OLS).
• State - Port state (Online, Offline, Not Installed, Inactive, Invalid
Attachment, Link Reset, No Light, Not Operational, Port Failure,
Segmented E_Port, or Te s t in g ).
• Type - Configured port type. Settings are:
— Generic mixed port (GX_Port). This setting also configures a
port as a generic loop port (GL_Port). This selection is
available only if enabled through an optional product feature
enablement (PFE) key.
