Monitoring and managing the director62
• 3—When the port is operational but not communicating with an attached device, the green
indicator remains off. In this case, there may not be a fiber cable attached, there may be no light
from the device (because the device switch is powered off), the port may be blocked, or the link
may be recovering.
• 4—If the port fails, the amber indicator for the port illuminates and a blinking red and yellow
diamond is displayed next to the port connector.
• 5—A yellow triangle (not shown) is displayed next to a port connector for a variety of reasons:
• Beaconing for the port was enabled through the Enable Beaconing option. Note that this is
the case in the illustration on Figure 21 on page 61 (see number 1 in the illustration).
• The port is receiving the Not Operational sequence from the attached device.
• The port has an invalid attachment.
• The director and attached device are performing a link reset operation.
• LIN status symbols have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box and a link
incident occurs.
• A threshold status has occurred for the port.
• Diagnostics are running on the port.
• 6—The Port Card view indicates a failed port by a blinking red and yellow diamond (not
shown) status symbol by the port’s connector. The amber LED for the port will also be illuminated
(see number 4 in Figure 21 on page 61).
• 7—A blank port indicates that the port optics are not installed.
