    What to do if stacking cable LED is blinking orange on Aruba Switch?
    • L
      lisa46Aug 31, 2025
      If the stacking cable connected to the stacking port on your Aruba Switch has a Link LED blinking orange, it could be due to several reasons: * The cable is not connected at the far end. * A stacking link failure has occurred. * The switch at the other end is powered off or has a disabled stacking feature. * The stacking module or switch at the other end has failed. * The stacking cable is faulty. Ensure the stacking cable is fully connected at both ends. If an equipment failure has occurred, check the LEDs on the device at the other end of the connection.
