Viewing switch information 3 Port status The Switch View displays port graphics with blinking LEDs, simulating the physical appearance of the ports. Two LEDs are associated with each port: one of the LEDs indicates port status; the other indicates port speed. For LED information, see the hardware documentation for the switch you are viewing. The background color of the port icon indicates the port status, as follows: • Green (healthy) • Yellow (marginal) • Red (critical) • Gray (unmonitored) If the entire port icon is blue, the port is buffer-limited. (A port is operating in buffer-limited mode when the number of buffers allocated to the port is less than the number of buffers needed by the port to utilize the port at full bandwidth.) If a group of port icons is gray (unavailable), those ports are not licensed. Figure 28 shows port icons and associated LEDs from a Brocade 4100 switch. The layout is similar for all switches, but varies according to switch type. The background color of the port icon indicates port status. The blinking LEDs indicate port status and port speed. FIGURE 28 Port and LED Status Color-Coded Information in the Port Icon in Switch View Hover the cursor over the port icon to view the port number, port type, and port status, as shown in Figure 29.

Port status
The Switch View displays port graphics with blinking LEDs, simulating the physical appearance of
the ports. Two LEDs are associated with each port: one of the LEDs indicates port status; the other
indicates port speed. For LED information, see the hardware documentation
for the switch you are
viewing.
The background color of the port icon indicates the port status, as follows:
•
Green (healthy)
•
Yellow (marginal)
•
Red (critical)
•
Gray (unmonitored)
If the entire port icon is blue, the port is buffer-limited. (A port is operating in
buffer-limited
mode
when the number of buffers allocated to the port is less than the number of buffers needed by the
port to utilize the port at full bandwidth.)
If a group of port icons is gray (unavailable), those ports are not licensed.
Figure 28
shows port icons and associated LEDs from a Brocade 4100 switch. The layout is similar
for all switches, but varies according to switch type.
