Auto negotiation status.
The maximum transmission unit (MTU), which is the largest packet size that can be transmitted on

You can left-click a port to display the Port Status page.

Port Status Indicator
Each port in the device view is visually represented by one of five different state images.
Port State
Image
Description
Active
The port is connected, enabled, and the link is up.
Disabled
The port has been administrative disabled. This image is also used for “dead” ports
that may exist physically on the device but have no internal connection.
Error
The port has an error condition and may or may not be active.
Inactive
The port is connected and enabled, but the link is down (likely because no cable is
connected).
Sourcing Power
For a PoE port, this image is overlaid on the port when it is providing power.
