the rest of the window contains the following fields:
Name
This text field can help identify the port; the information entered here is not
displayed anywhere else in the Hub View.

Link Status
The port’s Link Status tells you whether or not the port has a valid connection to
the node at the other end of the cable segment. The possible Link conditions are:
• Active — The port has a valid connection with the device at the other end of
the port’s cable.
• Inactive — The device at the other end of the cable is turned off, there is a
break in the cable, or there is no device or cable connected.
