The following figure shows the two alternate mode LEDs for VSP 4900 switches: SYS and SPD. The Mode button is used to cycle through two display modes for the port LEDs. SYS and SPD display modes will expire after 30 seconds, at which time the port LEDs will revert to the default SYS mode.

Front-panel PoE ports use Amber to indicate PoE states.

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 2. Port LEDs in SYS Mode (default)

Color/State

Meaning

Steady green

Link is OK; port is not powered

Steady amber

Link is OK; port is powered; no traffic

Blinking green

Link is OK and transmitting packets; port is not powered

Blinking amber

Link is OK and transmitting packets; port is powered

Slow blinking amber

No link, or disabled port; port is powered

Alternating amber and green

Port has a power fault

Slow blinking green

Admin disabled and no power

Off

Port is not powered, has no link, or is disabled

Port LEDs in SPD Mode

After one press of the Mode button (see VSP 4900 Mode and System Status LEDs), the port LEDs will enter the SPD Display Mode, indicated by the SPD LED. 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:
