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 a light is flashing on the
hardware.
• Inactive — The switch port is in an inactive state. Reasons for this state
display in the Reason field of the Port Properties page. (You can find more
information at Viewing Port Properties on page 4-5.)
NOTE: Note that if port optics have also failed, the amber LED will be on.
• Invalid Attachment — The switch port is in an invalid attachment state.
• Link Incident — A link incident occurred on one of the ports.
• Link Reset — The switch and the attached device are performing a link reset
operation to recover the link connection. Ordinarily, this is a transient state that
should not persist.
