Port Operational States Port Indicators Port State Beaconing Green Off or On Amber Blink Invalid On Off Attachment Link Incident Off Off Link Reset Off Off Alert Indicatora Yellow Triangle Yellow Triangle Yellow Triangle Yellow Triangle Description The port is beaconing. The amber port LED blinks once every two seconds to enable users to find a specific port. Enable beaconing through the port's pop-up menu on the Port Card View, Port List View, or Performance View. The director port is in an invalid attachment state in either of four cases: (1) a loopback plug is connected to the port and there is no diagnostic test running, (2) the fiber-optic cable is connected to another port on the same director, (3) the port type is configured as an F_Port and it is connected to another director (E_Port), or (4) the port type is configured as an E_Port and is connected to an N_Port. Note: Ports can be configured as G_Ports, F_Ports, and E_Ports through the Configure Ports dialog box. A link incident occurred on the port. The alert symbol displays in the Port List View, Port Card View, and Hardware View. The director and the attached device are performing a link reset operation to recover the link connection. Ordinarily, this is a transient state that should not persist. 142
