Description
The switch port is in an invalid
attachment state. Reasons for this
state appear in the Reason field of
the Port Properties dialog box.
A link incident occurred on one of
the ports and displays in the Port
List View with a corresponding
indicator displaying for the card in
the Hardware View.
The switch and the attached device
are performing a link reset operation
to recover the link connection.
Ordinarily, this is a transient state
that should not persist.
No signal (light) is being received on
the switch port. This is a normal
condition when there is no cable
plugged into the port or when the
power of the device attached to the
other end of the link is off.
The switch port is receiving the
Fibre Channel not operational
sequence (NOS), indicating that the
attached device is not operational.
The attached device has
successfully connected to the
switch and is ready to communicate
or is in the process of
communicating with other attached
devices. As long as the port remains
in the online state, the green/blue
port LED remains illuminated. Note
that on the actual port in the unit,
the green/blue LED blinks when
there is active Fibre Channel traffic
through the port.
