Using the SEHI Hub View
2-10 Monitoring Hub Performance
• Active Ports displays either YES or NO for any active (green) port, indicating
whether or not that port has seen any traffic at all since the device was last
initialized or the counters were last reset; this port display form can tell you
whether any port whose statistics are not currently incrementing has seen
some activity in the past. Non-green (presumably inactive) ports will display
three dashes (---), regardless of their past statistical activity.
