PoE LED

Even if the PoE mode is not selected, the LED shows PoE problems when they are detected (Table 1-8). The PoE LED is only on the switches that support PoE.

Table 1-8	PoE LED
Color		Meaning
Off		PoE is not enabled.
Green		PoE is enabled. Ports are functioning correctly.
Blinking amber		• PoE mode is not selected.
		• At least one of the 10/100 or 10/100/100 PoE ports has been
		denied power.
		or
		• At least one of the ports has a PoE fault.

PD LED

Applies only to the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L and 3560PD-8PT-S switches. (Table 1-9).

Table 1-9	PD LED
Color		Meaning
Off		Switch is not powered up.
Blinking amber		Switch is receiving power from a PoE device, but it is insufficient
		to power up the switch.
Amber		Switch is powered by only the auxiliary power adapter.
Amber/green		Switch is powered by the auxiliary power but is also receiving
		power from a PoE device.
Green		Switch is powered by a PoE switch through a PoE uplink port.

Dual-Purpose Port LEDs

The dual-purpose port LEDs identify the connection as either a copper-based connector or an SFP module. The ports can autonegotiate, or you can manually configure each dual-purpose port as either 10/100/1000 with copper connectors or as an SFP-module port, but not as both types at the same time. See Table 1-7for LED descriptions.
