On the left side of the display, the upper half shows port and LED status and the lower half contains general
switch information. Selecting the label on each text field displays a pop-up dialog that explains the field.
In the switch picture, the blinking green lights indicate problem status and solid black indicates no device
attached. Each port module is a clickable hyperlink that takes you to a third page, the Port Detail View Page
(see Table 6-3 and "Port Detail View Page" in this chapter for more information). Each port includes the port
number, a status LED, and port detail information.
If a port card is not installed, a solid black rectangle is displayed and the port status is indicated as No_Card.
If the interface is installed but no Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is present, a silver rectangle is displayed
and the port status is indicated as No_Module.
If the port contains a GBIC, one of the following is shown:
For copper GBICs, a graphic representation of a copper GBIC with the letters "CU"
For shortwave fiber GBICs, a graphic representation of a GBIC with the letters "S" and "W"
For longwave fiber GBICs, a graphic representation of a GBIC with the letters "L" and "W"
If the port is on an arbitrated loop, the letters "F/L" are displayed in an oval between the ports
associated with the card.
If the port has failed, the port is outlined in amber to indicate a failure.
The color and flash speed of each LED, as described in Table 6-3, indicates port status.
