Port Information Viewing the Port List 2 • Offline-The switch port was configured as "blocked" and is transmitting the Fibre Channel OLS to the attached device. • Port Failure-The switch port has failed and requires service. (A port in the failed state cannot beacon.) • Segmented-The E_Port is segmented preventing the two fabrics from joining (this only occurs when two switches are connected to each other). • Testing-Port is executing an internal loopback test. If you select a port number or port name, the lower part of the Port List page (Figure 2-2 on page 2-5) provides the following information for the selected port: • Port Number-The physical port number. • Port Name-User-defined port name or description. • Type-The configured port type. Valid options vary by product, but the valid options are: - G_Port. This displays if nothing is logged into the port and the port is configured to be a G_Port. - F_Port. This displays if a device is logged into the port. - E_Port. This displays if the port is connected to another switch's E_Port through an ISL. - GX_Port. Valid only on loop devices, allows a port to operate as either a Fabric Loop Port, Fabric Port, or an Expansion Port. This displays if nothing is logged into the port and the port is configured to be a GX_Port. - FX_Port. Valid only on loop devices. This setting restricts a port to operate as either a Fabric Loop Port or a Fabric Port. • Operating Speed-This field displays the current data speed for the port as 1 Gb/sec, 2 Gb/sec, or Not Established. Not Established displays if Negotiate is defined as the operating speed and the data speed has not been resolved between the port and the attached device, or if the port and device are not communicating. Note that 2 Gb/sec and Not Established can display only on machines that support 2 Gbps speeds. • Fibre Channel Address-Fibre Channel Address identifier of the port. Not displayed for some products.

Offline
—The switch port was configured as “blocked” and is
transmitting the Fibre Channel OLS to the attached device.
Port Failure
—The switch port has failed and requires service. (A
port in the failed state cannot beacon.)
Segmented
—The E_Port is segmented preventing the two fabrics
from joining (this only occurs when two switches are connected
to each other).
Testing
—Port is executing an internal loopback test.
Port Information
If you select a port number or port name, the lower part of the
Port
List
page (
Figure 2-2
on page 2-5) provides the following information
for the selected port:
Port Number
—The physical port number.
Port Name
—User-defined port name or description.
Type
—The configured port type. Valid options vary by product,
but the valid options are:
G_Port. This displays if nothing is logged into the port and the
port is configured to be a G_Port.
F_Port. This displays if a device is logged into the port.
E_Port. This displays if the port is connected to another
switch’s E_Port through an ISL.
GX_Port. Valid only on loop devices, allows a port to operate
as either a Fabric Loop Port, Fabric Port, or an Expansion Port.
This displays if nothing is logged into the port and the port is
configured to be a GX_Port.
FX_Port. Valid only on loop devices. This setting restricts a
port to operate as either a Fabric Loop Port or a Fabric Port.
Operating Speed
—This field displays the current data speed for
the port as
1 Gb/sec
,
2 Gb/sec,
or
Not Established
.
Not Established
displays if
Negotiate
is defined as the operating speed and the
data speed has not been resolved between the port and the
attached device, or if the port and device are not communicating.
Note that
2 Gb/sec
and
Not Established
can display only on
machines that support 2 Gbps speeds.
Fibre Channel Address
—Fibre Channel Address identifier of the
port. Not displayed for some products.
