Port Mode

 

Port LED Color

Meaning

 

 

 

 

 

 

PoE+1

 

Off

PoE+ is off.

 

 

 

 

If the powered device is receiving power from an AC power source,

 

 

 

 

the port LED is off even if the device is connected to the switch port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Green

PoE+ is on. The port LED is green when the switch port is providing

 

 

 

 

power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alternating

PoE+ is denied because providing power to the powered device will

 

 

 

green and

exceed the switch power capacity.

 

 

 

amber

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking amber

PoE+ is off due to a fault or because it has exceeded a limit set in

 

 

 

 

the switch software.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution PoE+ faults occur when noncompliant cabling or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

powered devices are connected to a PoE+ port. Use only

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

standard-compliant cabling to connect Cisco prestandard

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Phones and wireless access points or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices to PoE+ ports. You

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

must remove from the network any cable or device that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

causes a PoE+ fault.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amber

PoE+ for the port has been disabled.

 

 

 

 

Note PoE+ is enabled by default.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Only switches with PoE or PoE+ ports.
