● X (black) The port is a member of the aggregation, but is not currently active.
In this case, port not active means that the port was removed dynamically from the
aggregation. The reasons for this may be as follows:
– Ports of the aggregation have different configurations (for example speed)
– The port is not connected with the same device
– The port does not have a link
– The port was not authenticated according to 802.1x
– ...
● X (blue) The port is a member of the aggregation and is its master port and is not active.
Note
On a SCALANCE X414-3E, although the gigabit ports 5.1 and 5.2 can be configured with
a Fast Ethernet port in an aggregation, they will never be active along with other Fast
Ethernet ports, even if they are set to Fast Ethernet.
