Viewing the Port List 2 Port Operational States • Operational State-refer to Port Operational States on page 2-6 for an explanation of the states. • Type-The type of port. The valid options vary by product. (This may be the same as the configured port type.) • Health Status-Status of the installed optic for the port. Values for this parameter are Normal, Warning, Alarm, and No Info. • Transceiver-The transceiver type of the installed optic. The Operational State column of the Port List page 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 appear in the Reason field in the lower part of the page when the port is selected. (Refer to Port Information on page 2-7 for more information.) TIP: 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. • Not installed-The port optics are not installed or the feature that provides additional port function is not enabled. • Not Operational-The switch port is receiving the Fibre Channel not operational sequence (NOS) indicating that the attached device is not operational. • Online-The attached device has successfully connected to the switch and is ready to communicate, or is in the process of communicating with other attached devices. 2-6 EFCM Basic User Manual
