Check Management Port (Ethernet) LEDs

There are two RJ-45 ports for Ethernet management of the EdgeFLEX 600 located on the Management card. Refer to the illustration in Card LED Locations, on page 2-15for the location of the LEDs.

Each Ethernet management port has two status LEDs; LINK/ACT and SPEED. The LINK/ACT LED is on the right and indicates the presence of an Ethernet link and/or traffic activity on that link. The LINK SPEED LED is on the left of the port and indicates the speed of the Ethernet link, either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The following table lists the interpretation of the states of the two LEDs.
