The power supply dialog displays the number of power supplies in the switch and their status.

PORT STATUS
The Switch View displays port graphics with blinking LEDs, simulating the physical appearance of
the ports. Two LEDs are associated with each port: one of the LEDs indicates port status; the other
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:
• Green (healthy)
• Yellow (marginal)
• Red (critical)
• Gray (unmonitored)
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 greyed out, those ports are not licensed.
Figure 27 shows port icons and associated LEDs from a Brocade 4100 switch. The Brocade 200E,
3250, 4900, and 5000 switches have a similar layout.
