Port Operational States
The State column of the Port List tab view displays one of the following
operational states:
■ Beaconing — The port is beaconing, which means that the beaconing light
is flashing on the physical hardware. (A port in a failed state cannot beacon.)
■ Inactive — The switch port is in an inactive state. Reasons for this state
display in the Reason field of the Port Properties page. (See “Viewing Port
Properties” on page 102 for more information.)
Note: Note that if port optics have also failed, the amber LED will be on.
■ Invalid Attachment — The switch port is in an invalid attachment
state.
■ Link Incident — A link incident occurred on one of the ports.
■ Link Reset — The switch and the attached device are performing a link
reset operation to recover the link connection. Ordinarily, this is a transient
state.
■ No Light — No signal (light) is being received on the switch port. This is a
normal condition when there is no cable plugged into the port or when the
power of the device attached to the other end of the link is off.
