156 Edge Switch 2/24 Service Manual

■ Type—The Port type (G_Port, F_Port, or E_Port) type of port (G_Port if

nothing is attached to the port, F_Port if a device is attached to the port, and

E_Port if the port is connected to another director or switch as part of an ISL).

■ Operating Speed—The operating speed of the port (Not Established,

1Gb/s, or 2 Gb/s.).

■ Port WWN—The Fibre Channel WWN for the switch port.

■ Block Configuration—A user-configured state for the port (Blocked or

Unblocked).

■ LIN Alerts Configuration—A user-specified state for the port

(On or Off), configured through the Configure Ports dialog box.

■ FAN Configuration—A user-configured state for FAN configuration

(Enabled or Disabled).

■ Beaconing—User-specified for the port (On or Off). When beaconing is

enabled, a yellow triangle appears adjacent to the status field.

■ Link Incident—If no link incidents are recorded, None appears in the status

field. If a link incident is recorded, a summary appears describing the

incident, and a yellow triangle appears adjacent to the status field. Valid

summaries are:

— Implicit incident.

— Bit-error threshold exceeded.

— Link failure–loss of signal or loss of synchronization.

— Link failure–not-operational primitive sequence received.

— Link failure–primitive sequence time-out.

— Link failure–invalid primitive sequence received for the current link state.

■ Operational State—The state of the port (Online, Offline, Beaconing,

Invalid Attachment, Link Incident, Link Reset, No Light, Not

Operational, Port Failure, Segmented E_Port, or Testing). A yellow

triangle appears adjacent to the status field if the port is in a non-standard state

that requires attention. A red and yellow diamond appears adjacent to the

status field if the port fails.

■ Reason—A summary appears describing the reason if the port state is

Segmented E_Port, Invalid Attachment, or Inactive. For any other port

state, the reason field is blank or N/A. Invalid Attachment Messages are

explained in Table 23.
