The color and flash speed of each LED, as described in Table 3-3, indicates port status.
Port Detail View Page
Figure 3-5 shows the Port Detail View page which features 16 cascaded folders. Each folder
has a tab on the top to show the port number. It also has a status light to tell the port state
(disabled or enabled with the same light as described in Table 3-3).
Port information is updated once per second. However, the time interval maybe as long as 2.5
seconds depending on the browser used. A system administrator gains the knowledge of each
port state by glancing at those 16 or 8 tabs. The default top folder displayed on this page is for
the port number checked from the General Switch View page. Clicking a tab brings the
corresponding port folder to the front.
