8.3.1 Reviewing cable status The tables in this section contains examples of cable status states you may view using the System Management display. • The Scenario column identifies the specific scenario for which examples and pictures are provided. • The YES and NO in the Crossover Cable Conn. column indicate whether or not the crossover cable is connected. Note how the removal of the crossover cable alters what the nodes are able to “hear” on their ports. • The YES and NO in the Port A Conn. and Port B Conn. columns indicate whether or not the A or B cables are connected on TB6SRV1B and TB6SRV1A. • The Sending Node column identifies the node that is transmitting to the receiving or As Viewed By node (SRVA in the example). • The A > A column indicates whether port A of the sending node can transmit to port A of the receiving (viewed by) node. • The A > B column indicates whether port A of the sending node can transmit to port B of the receiving (viewed by) node. • The B > A column indicates whether port B of the sending node can transmit to port A of the receiving (viewed by) node. • The B > B column indicates whether port B of the sending node can transmit to port B of the receiving (viewed by) node.ng downloaded, a
