What to do if PoE mode LED blinks amber on Cisco Catalyst 3750 Switch?
- BBrandon TaylorJul 29, 2025
If the PoE mode LED is blinking amber on your Cisco Switch, it indicates that at least one PoE port has a fault, or power has been denied to one or more PoE ports. This often occurs when noncompliant cabling or powered devices are connected to a PoE port. To resolve this, use the Mode button to check the PoE status for all ports. Affected port LEDs will blink amber or alternate green and amber. If a port LED blinks amber, there is a PoE fault, and the problematic cable or device should be removed. If a port status LED is alternating green and amber, try connecting the powered device to an external AC power source.
