The port is not receiving data.
LINK
Green
ON
A connection exists between the port and 
the end node.
OFF
There is no connection between the port and 
the end node.
PARTITION
Amber
ON
The port is partitioned because of excessive 
collisions (more than 127 consecutive 
collisions) or because long packets (longer 
than 5 milliseconds) are being sent over the 
network.
If a port is partitioned, it is automatically 
reconnected to the network when the 
problem no longer exists.
OFF
The port is not partitioned.
