Troubleshooting Using the Status LEDs

A blinking Port Status indicator (LED) signals a problem with a port or a link connected to a port. Once a port detects a problem, you can further analyze the problem by counting the number of blinks. Table 5-1 provides troubleshooting suggestions for each of the blinking sequences.

Note: The LEDs provide accurate information only when unused ports are disabled.
