Port LED state indicators
This section describes the port LED state indicators by color and fluctuation cues.
The following list describes the three port LEDs:
• Activity indicates the level of activity on the link.
• Link indicates the presence of an Ethernet link.
• Speed indicates the port speed (for example, 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, 1000 Mb/s).

Speed/PoE Green, Pulse Green—
Green
The port is set to operate at 1000 Mb/s and PoE is delivered on
the PoE model port.
Green, Steady The port is set to operate at 1000 Mb/s and no PoE power is
delivered on the port, on non-PoE or PoE models without a
PoE consumer attached to the port.
Amber, Pulse Amber—
Amber
The port is set to operate at 100 Mb/s and PoE is delivered on
