SFP and SFP+ Port LEDs

The SFP ports include two LEDS on models ISW 4GbP, 2GbT, 2-SFP, ISW 4-10/100P, 2-10/100T, 2-SFP, ISW 8-10/100P, 4-SFP, and ISW 8GbP, 4-SFP. The following table describes the colors and the states for the LEDs.

SFP Port LED Color/State Meaning
Link/Activity Off No link.
Solid Green Link is up but no traffic is detected.
Flashing Green Link is up and traffic is detected.
Speed Off No link or a SFP port speed 100Mbps connection is detected.
Solid Amber A 1000Mbps connection is detected.

ISW 8GbP, 4-SFP+: A 1/2.5/10Gbps connection is detected.

The SFP+ ports include two LEDS. On the ISW 8GbP, 4-SFP+ switch model, the LED on the left is for link/activity and the LED on the right is for speed. On the ISW 24GbP, 4-SFP switch model, the LED on top is speed and the LED on the bottom is for link/activity. The following table describes the colors and the states for the LEDs.
