controller, including a color-coded status for each port.

To display host port status information:

The status of each port is determined by the following color code:
Green – Host link is up
■
Red – Host link is down
■
White – Port is unused and does not contain an SFP
■
2. To view information about a specific port, click the port.
The selected port is outlined in blue.
Details in the lower part of the panel vary depending on the selected port's status.
Some values are assigned only when the host link is up. An asterisk (*) indicates a
value that will take effect after loop initialization.
