Viewing and configuring ports
Port color and text provide information about the port and its operational state. To display number and
status information for a port, position the cursor over a port on the faceplate display. The status information
changes depending on the View menu option selected. Green ports indicate active; gray ports indicate
inactive. Context-sensitive popup menus are displayed when you right-click a port icon in the faceplate
display. Use the drop-down lists in the Port Properties dialog box to change the following parameters:
•
Port Symbolic Name
•
Port States
•
Port Types
•
Port Speeds

The port settings or characteristics are configured using the Port Properties dialog box (

the Port Properties dialog box, select one or more ports, open the Port menu, and then select Port
Properties.
