Port Detail View Page
The Port Detail View Page features eight cascaded folders. Each folder has a tab on the top to show the
port number and a status light to tell the port state (disabled or enabled with the same light as described in
Table 6-3). The port information is updated once per second. However, the time interval may be as long as
2.5 seconds depending on the browser used. By monitoring the eight tabs, a system administrator can
evaluate each port state. The default top folder displayed on this page is for the port number checked from
the General Switch View Page. Clicking a tab brings the corresponding port folder to the front.
Below the folders is a pushbutton linked to the Administrative Interface Page (see "Administrative Interface
Page" for more information) where port enable/disable can be performed. A pushbutton is linked to the
Performance View Page (see "Performance View Page
" for more information) where port and switch
throughput data is plotted. A Done pushbutton is used to exit from the page.
Each port folder contains general port status information such as the port number, port type (E-Port, G-
Port), port WWN name, and some detailed information, such as the number of interrupts, number of link
failures, number of parity errors, number of time-outs, and the size of free buffer.
The LED located in the upper-right corner in each tab resembles the port LED in the switch front panel.
