NOTE
All of the 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps Brocade switches do not have port speed LEDs, but only port status
LEDs.

The background color of the port icon indicates the port status:

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 gray (unmonitored), those ports are not licensed.

The following figure shows port icons and associated LEDs from a Brocade 6520 switch. The layout is
similar for all switches, but varies according to switch type. The blinking LEDs indicate port status.
