Monitoring and Managing the Director
The Port List View displays the following information on all ports that can be
installed in the director. All information is updated automatically.
•
#—The physical port number, from 0-63 on the Director 2/64, and 0-127 and
132-143 on the Director 2/140. Note that for the Director 2/140, ports 128-131 are
internal ports and not available for external connections.
•
Addr (S/390 mode only)—Displays the logical address of the port. The address
equals the port number, plus 4. For example, the address for port 0 is 4 (0+4). If
port addresses have been swapped, those addresses will be followed by an
asterisk (*).
NOTE: This column applies during S/390 mode only and does not display during Open
Systems mode.
•
Name—Displays the port name as configured through the Configure Ports
dialog box.
•
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 through port right-click menus in the Port
Card View and the Block All Ports option on the port card’s right-click
menus in the Port Card View and Hardware View.
— The Block Port option is also available on the port row right-click menus in
the Port List View, the port bar graph right-click menus in the Performance

Blocked states are:
— Blocked: Devices communicating with the port are prevented from logging

and communicate with devices attached to any other unblocked port in the
same zone.
