LEDs and ports

The color of LEDs in the device view is the same as the colors of the LEDs on the physical switch. However, the device view does not show blinking activity of the LEDs.

For a full description of the LEDs for the Business Policy Switch, refer to Using the Business Policy Switch 2000.

The ports on the device view are color coded to show port status. Table 6 shows the status assigned to each color.
