and cannot receive or transmit packets. 
The color of the port icon is yellow, showing there is a loop. 
The color of the port icon is green, showing the port is working

The number above the port icon is the port ID used to identify 
the device port. With the port ID, users can specify the port they 
want to configure.   
The device port is classified into the uplink port and the downlink 
port. The uplink port is used to connect network devices in the 
upper layer and access the core network. The downlink port is 
used to connect the endpoints. 
When port isolation is enabled, the downlink ports of the device 
are isolated from each another, and they can only communicate 
with the uplink ports. For details, see Chapter 2.4.
