Block Config—Indicates the blocked or unblocked configuration of the port,
as set through the Configure Ports dialog box.
The Block Port option is available by right-clicking the port in the Hardware
View, the port row in the Port List View, or the port bar graph in the
Performance View. Or, you can click Product > Port.
Blocked states are:
— Blocked—Devices communicating with the port are prevented from
logging into the switch or communicating with other devices attached to
switch ports. A blocked port continuously transmits an offline signal
(OLS).
— Unblocked—Devices communicating with the port can log in to the
switch and communicate with devices attached to any other unblocked
port in the same zone.
