Port LEDs and Modes

Each of the 10/100, 100BASE-FX, and LRE ports and module slots have a port LED. These port LEDs, as a group or individually, display information about the switch and about the individual ports. The port modes (Table 1-5and Table 1-6) determine the type of information displayed.

To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. When you change port modes, the meaning of the port LED colors also changes. Table 1-7and Table 1-8list the port LED colors.
