State Description
Online Indicates that the Ethernet adapter and its associated network connection
is active in the server configuration. The Endurance Manager
Administration Window (Chapter 4) uses color to indicate whether the
adapter is either primary or standby.
• Primary indicates that the adapter is responsible for all transmits and
receives.
• Standby indicates that the adapter is not responsible for transmits or
receives, but is actively receiving and monitoring the network. If the
primary connection fails, this adapter and its connection immediately
assume primary status without loss of network traffic or client
connectivity.
Offline Indicates that the software detected a loss of network connectivity on the
adapter.
Initializing Indicates that the adapter is in an intermediate state from which the
adapter will transition to standby or primary.
Faulted The adapter or its connection to the network has failed. Possible reasons
include:
• Adapter configuration error
• Excessive network errors
Disabled Indicates that the adapter was disabled using Endurance Manager.
