Summary:A method of operating a network that has network infrastructure devices (1, 2) that have multiple ports and that are connected or are connectable to each other for data transmission via respective cables inserted into the ports that each have a signaling means that can be switched between at least two signaling states, characterized in that a signaling means of a port of the one network infrastructure device (1) and a signaling means of a port of another network infrastructure device (2) are brought into a signaling state indicating that they belong together so that it is easy to determine that the ports belong together.
