Port Status
The Port Status indicators show a symbol for each port that indicates the
general status of the port. There are four possible statuses:
Port Connected – the port is enabled and is properly connected to an
active network device.
Port Not Connected – the port is enabled but is not connected to an
active network device. A cable may not be connected to the port, or the
device at the other end may be powered off or inoperable, or the cable or
connected device could be faulty.
Port Disabled – the port has been configured as disabled through the
web browser interface, the switch console, or SNMP network manage-
ment.
Port Fault-Disabled – a fault condition has occurred on the port that
has caused it to be auto-disabled. Note that the Port Fault-Disabled
symbol will be displayed in the legend only if one or more of the ports is
in that status. See chapter 7, “Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation”
for more information.
The Alert Log
The web browser interface Alert Log, shown in the lower half of the screen,
shows a list of network occurrences, or alerts, that were detected by the
switch. Typical alerts are, Broadcast Storm, indicating an excessive number of
broadcasts received on a port, and Problem Cable, indicating a faulty cable. A
full list of alerts is shown in the table on page 3-20.
