Port LEDs can display in three different modes: SYS (the default mode), SPD (speed) and STK (stacking). The Mode button cycles through the three display modes. In the default SYS mode, SPD and STK are 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. The port LEDs enter the STK display mode, indicated by the STK LED, after pressing the Mode button a second time. STK mode is used to indicate slot presence and slot number through the first eight port LEDs. SPD and STK display modes expire after 30 seconds, and the display mode reverts back to the default SYS mode. A long press of the Mode button when in any mode other than STK mode initiates Bluetooth pairing.
In the default SYS mode, SPD and STK are OFF. Port status displays behavior for link, traffic, and PoE as described in the following table:
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 |
Off |
Port is not powered, has no link, or is disabled |
SPD mode helps to determine the operational speed of a port.

STK mode indicates slot presence and slot number through the first eight port LEDs. Pressing the Mode button for 5 seconds when in STK mode initiates InstaStack auto-stacking.
Port 1-8 Color/State | Stacking Indication |

Steady green | Slot corresponding to the port number of the LED is present |
Blinking green | This slot has slot number corresponding the port number of the blinking LED |
100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Management port on the rear panel includes two LED located on each side of the RJ-45 port. The LED on the right side is labeled Link (for link status) and the LED on the left side is labeled Act (for port activity). The following table describes the meaning of the colors and states for the LEDs.
Right-side LED | State | |
---|---|---|
Link | Green | Link up |
Off | No link up or port disable | |
Left-side LED | State | |
Act | Blinking Green | Packet transmitting or receiving |
Off | No packet transmitting or receiving |
Each QSFP28 port has four green LEDs. The following table describes the states for the LEDs.
