Front Panel Components
The LINK/ACT indicators on the front panel of the Cisco ASA 5505 are normally
solid green when a link is established and flashing green when there is network
activity. Each Ethernet interface (numbered 0 through 7) has two LEDs: one to
indicate the operating speed and the other to indicate whether the physical link is
established.
Figure 4-4 illustrates the front panel of the Cisco ASA 5505.
