FDX/Col LED
The FDX/Col (full duplex/collision) LED indicates when a port is in full duplex (FDX) mode, or when two or more stations on the specific net-

ΔNote: This LED can display both green and yellow colors (see Table
ΔNote: Collisions are normal in Fast Ethernet networks. Excessive collisions may indicate that your network is congested.
