This chapter describes port management tasks.
Viewing port information
The faceplate display uses color and text to show the port type, operational state, transmission speed, and
media status. To display number and status information for a port, position the cursor over a port on the
faceplate display. The status information changes depending on the View menu option selected. Green
ports indicate active; gray ports indicate inactive. Context-sensitive popup menus are displayed when you
right-click a port icon in the faceplate display.
The Port Information and Port Statistics data windows provide port information and port statistics for
selected ports.
