Redundant Power System LED

The Redundant Power System (R PS) L ED shows the RPS status (see Table 3-3). Certain switches in the
switch cluster use a specific RPS model:
Cisco RP S 300 (mo del PWR3 00- AC-RPS-N1) Catalyst 2900 LRE XL, Catalyst 2950,
Catalyst 3524-PW R XL, and Cata lyst 3550 switches
Cisco RPS 600 (model PWR600- AC-RPS)C atalyst 2900 XL an d Catalyst 3500 X L switches,
except the Catal yst 2900 LRE XL and Ca talyst 3524-PWR X L switches
Refer to the appropri ate switc h hardware document ation for RPS descript ions spec ific for the switch.

Port Modes and LEDs

The port modes (se e Table 3-4) determine the type of information displayed through the port LEDs.
When you cha nge port mo des, the meanings of the port LED colors (see Table 3-5) a ls o ch an ge .
Note The bandwidth utilization mode (UTIL LED) does not appear on the front-panel images. Select
Reports > Bandwidth Graphs to display the total bandwidth in use by the switch. Refer to the switch
hardware installation guide for information about using the UTIL LED.
