Port Mode Color Meaning
STAT (port status) Off No link.
Solid green Link present.
Flashing green Activity; port is transmitting or receiving data.
Alternating
green-amber
Link fault. Error frames can affect connectivity, and errors such as
excessive collisions, CRC errors, and alignment and jabber errors are
monitored for a link-fault indication.
Solid amber Port is not forwarding. Port was disabled by management or an address
violation or blocked by Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP).
Note After a port is reconfigured, the port status LED can remain amber for
up to 30 seconds as STP checks the switch for possible loops.
UTL (utilization) Green The LEDs display backplane utilization on a logarithmic scale.
If all port status LEDs are green, the switch is using 50% or more of its total
bandwidth capacity. If the right-most LED is off, the switch is using less
than 50% of its total bandwidth. If the LED to the left of the right-most
LED is off, the switch is using less than 25% of its total capacity, and so on.
Figure 1-7 shows the utilization expressed by the right-most LEDs.
FDUP (full duplex Off Port is operating in half duplex.
Green Port is operating in full duplex.
100 (speed) Off Port is operating at 10 Mbps.
Green Port is operating at 100 Mbps.
