Each port in the switch has a corresponding port address which equals the physical port number plus four. Therefore, the address for port 0 is 4 (0+4). ■ Port Name-This user-defined name is assigned to the address. Up to 24 alphanumeric characters are allowed, including spaces, hyphens and underscores. ■ Blocked-If the box is checked, the port is blocked. Blocked ports continuously transmit offline sequences (OLS), but cannot communicate to an attached device. If the box is not checked, the port is unblocked. 136 Director Product Manager User Guide
