5Access Point Status LEDs

Each LED represents the status of APs connected to a specific port on the switch. During operation, the LEDs provide the following information:

TABLE 3 Line Card AP Status LED

Status

Description

 

 

Red (solid)

An AP on this port has failed (highest precedence).

Red (flashing)

An air monitor on this port has detected an unsecured AP.

 

The AP is attached to your network but is not listed in the

 

switch security policies. If security policies are enabled,

 

clients are not granted access to your network through the

 

unsecured AP.

Green

An air monitor on this port has detected interference. The

(flashing)

interfering device (AP or other radio source) has been

 

detected by your valid APs, but has no wired presence on

 

your network.

Amber (solid)

Load balancing is enabled on this port or an AP has reached

 

the maximum number of clients it is configured to support.

Green (solid)

All detected APs on this port are operating as expected.

Off

No AP is detected on the port (lowest precedence)

 

 

The LED states listed above are listed in order of precedence (highest to lowest). If more than one AP is connected to the port, the state with the highest precedence is displayed.

62 GE ports

Each GE port has its own LNK/ACT LED, located to the right of the port. During operation, these LEDs provide the following status information:

Status

Description

 

 

Off

No Ethernet link on the port.

Green

An Ethernet link has been established on the port, but no

 

data is currently being transmitted or received.

Flashing

The port is transmitting or receiving data. The flashing rate is

Green

proportional to your network activity.

Amber

The Ethernet link on the port is encountering errors.
