All unblocked ports are able to connect with devices. You can 
configure this state through the Set Online State dialog box. Refer 
to 

 on page 5-4 for instructions. Note that the 

switch automatically goes online after a power-up, an initial 
machine load (IML), or initial program load (IPL).

This is a transitional state that occurs just before the switch goes 
online. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a 
problem reaching the online state.

No Link Status
If the Ethernet network connection between the EFC Server and the 
switch is down, the Hardware View displays the front and rear of the 
unit without FRUs. The switch Status table at the top of the Hardware 
View changes to display the status (No Link) and reason with a 
yellow background. The name, description, and location fields are 
blank.

The Reason field on the switch Status table displays one of the 
following reasons when there are no links. 

A network connection was never established between the switch 
and the EFC Server or the CTP card has failed. Check the IP 
addresses, the Ethernet local area network (LAN) physical 
connection between the switch and EFC Server, and other 
network connection conditions.
