Advanced Configuration

NOTE: The LEDs displayed in the web-based utility are not the same as the LEDs on the front panel of the Switch. The front panel LEDs display different status information, which is described in Chapter 2: Overview.

The LEDs on the Setup Summary screen display status information about their corresponding ports. A green LED indicates a connection, while a grey LED indicates no connection. An orange LED indicates the port has been closed down by the administrator. When you click a port’s LED, the statistics for that port are displayed.
