Indicates the port’s link status:

 

 

• if the port LED is on, the port is enabled and receiving a link indication from the

 

 

connected device.

 

 

• if the port LED is off, the port has no active network cable connected, or is not

 

 

receiving link beat or sufficient light. Otherwise, the port may have been disabled

 

 

through the switch console or the web browser interface.

 

 

• if the port LED is blinking* simultaneously with the Fault LED, the corresponding port

 

 

has failed its self test.

such as a locked wiring closet.

 

 

This button is used for these purposes:

■Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

■Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the Reset button in a specific pattern, any configuration changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, and SNMP management are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the “ProCurve Series 2510 Switch Installation and Getting Started Guide”, located on the ProCurve Networking Web site, www.procurve.com.
