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.
