Port LEDs and Modes

Each RJ-45 port and SFP module slot has a port LED. These port LEDs, as a group or individually, display information about the switch and about the individual ports. The port modes determine the type of information displayed through the port LEDs. Table 1-4lists the mode LEDs and their associated port mode and meaning.

To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. When you change port modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change. Table 1-5explains how to interpret the port LED colors in different port modes.
