Monitoring Client Connectivity
You can monitor the connectivity of SAN/LAN clients using the LED indicators on the
FC/10GbE/1GbE ports respectively.
FC ports
Your configuration can include 8Gb or 16Gb FC cards. The FC cards are set up to work
in auto mode i.e. their ports transmit data depending on the connectivity mode of the
client’s (or the switch’s) FC card. You can view the transmission mode through any FC
port using the LED indicators above it. If the FC port LED’s light is off the port is
inactive.
