Viewing and configuring ports
Port color and text provide information about the port and its operational state. To
display port number and status information for a port, position the cursor over a
port on the faceplate display. The status information changes depending on the
View menu option selected. Green indicates active; gray indicates inactive.
Context-sensitive popup menus are displayed when you right-click a port icon in
the faceplate display. Use the drop-down lists in the Port Properties dialog to
change the following parameters:
• Port symbolic name
• Port states
• Port types
• Port speeds
• Port transceiver media status
• I/O Stream Guard
• Device scan
