Interpreting Events in the Hub
Collision
After a collision on the hub, the hub momentarily autopartitions the offending port. If
collisions are low, you may not be able to notice this instantaneous process.
However, if collisions are high, you will notice the following indications:
• The Partition LED for that port, and for the uplink and/or SNMP link, blinks amber.
• The port Link/Receive LED shows green ON, indicating a physical connection.
• The Link/Receive LED for the uplink shows green on or blinking, depending on whether
there is other traffic over the uplink during this period.
