Port information

The Ports A block shows the name and protocol type of each host port in controller A. The port icon indicates whether the port is active or inactive:

The Ports B block shows similar information for controller B.

Hover the cursor over a port to see the following information in the Port Information panel. If the health is not OK, the health reason and recommended action are shown to help you resolve problems.
