VSP 4900 Series Switches: Hardware Installation Guide

There are two supported modes for ExtremeSwitching VIM5 port LEDs:

SYS - default, use normal port LED behavior for link, traffic, and PoE
SPD – use the port LEDs to indicate operational speed

VIM5 Port LEDs in Default (SYS) Mode

In the default SYS mode, SPD is OFF, and the port status will display behavior for link, traffic, and PoE as described in the following table:

Table 1. VIM5 Port LEDs in SYS Mode (default)
Color/State	Meaning
Steady green	Link is OK; port is not powered
Blinking green	Link is OK and transmitting packets; port is not powered
Slow blinking green	Port is admin disabled
Off	Port is not powered, has no link

VIM5 Port LEDs in SPD Mode

SPD mode is used to help determine the operational speed of a port. Color and blink pattern indicate speeds, as referenced by the following table:

Table 2. VIM5 Port LEDs in SPD Mode
Color/State	Speed
Steady green	10Gbps
Blinking green	40Gbps
Steady amber	1Gbps
Blinking amber	25Gbps

Note

For the VIM5-2Q, the two LEDs in the QSFP+ cage are not supported/used, only the two sets of LEDs numbered L1-L4 on either side are supported as follows:

Table 3. VIM5-2Q Port LEDs in SPD Mode
LED	Mapping
LED 1	represents 40G port status/speed or first 10G port‘s status/speed when channelized
LED 2	status/speed for second 10G port when channelized
LED 3	status/speed for third 10G port when channelized
LED 4	status/speed for fourth 10G port when channelized
