Port status

The Switch View displays port graphics with blinking LEDs, simulating the physical appearance of

indicates port speed. For LED information, see the hardware documentation for the switch you are
viewing.
The background color of the port icon indicates the port status, as follows:
•
•
•
•
If the entire port icon is blue, the port is buffer-limited. (A port is operating in buffer-limited mode
when the number of buffers allocated to the port is less than the number of buffers needed by the
port to utilize the port at full bandwidth.)
If a group of port icons is gray (unavailable), those ports are not licensed.
