Port Operational States
The State column of the Port List tab view displays one of the following
operational states:
■ Beaconing — The port is beaconing, which means that the beaconing light
is flashing on the physical hardware. (A port in a failed state cannot beacon.)
■ Inactive — The switch port is in an inactive state. Reasons for this state
display in the Reason field of the Port Properties page. (See “Viewing Port
Properties” on page 75 for more information.)
