Smart Switch port details pane

This pane contains information about the ports of the selected commissioned switch.

Column Description
Port The port number in m.p format where m is the module number (1 though 7 depending on device's model) and p is the port number.
Enabled Indicates if the port is enabled.
Node Name Name of the DeltaV node connected to the port.
Learned Address Blank if the device is Unlocked. If Locked and the port is Enabled, displays the MAC address of daisy-chained devices; or, the MAC Address or IP address of single expected device. If Locked and the port is Disabled, displays (None).
Port Locking Violation Specifies whether there's a port locking violation on the port or not.

The information that appears for ports depends on the current state of the port. The states and the information that appears for each state is summarized in the table.
