System Status LEDs

System status LEDs are located on the panel front of the switch. The following table describes the colors and the states for the LEDs.

Port LEDs can display in two different modes: SYS and SPD. The Mode button cycles through the two display modes. In the default SYS mode, SPD is off. The port LEDs enter SPD display mode, indicated by the SPD LED, after pressing the Mode button one time. SPD mode helps to determine the operational speed of a port. SPD display mode expires after 30 seconds, and the display mode reverts back 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 displays behavior for link, traffic, and POE as described in the following table:

Table 2. Port LEDs in SYS Mode (default)

Color/State

Meaning

Solid green

Link is OK; port is not powered

Solid 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 Series Mode and System Status LEDs), the port LEDs 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:
