the operational speed of a port. Color and blink pattern indicate speeds, as referenced
by the following table:
Table 23: Port LEDs in SPD Mode
Color/State Speed
Blinking amber 2.5Mbps
Slow blinking green 5Mbps
Steady green 10Mbps
Blinking green 100Mbps
Steady amber 1000Mbps
Steady green 10Gbps
Blinking amber 25Gbps
Blinking green 40Gbps
Versatile Interface Modules (VIM5) Port LEDs
There are two supported modes for ExtremeSwitching VIM5 port LEDs:
• SYS - default, use normal port LED behavior for link, trafc, and PoE
• SPD – use the port LEDs to indicate operational speed
VIM5 Port LEDs in Default (SYS) Mode
In the default SYS mode, SPD is OFF, and the port status will display behavior for link,
trafc, and PoE as described in the following table:
Table 24: VIM5 Port LEDs in SYS Mode (default)
Color/State Meaning
Steady green Link is OK; port is not powered
Blinking green Link is OK and transmitting packets; port is not powered
Slow blinking green Port is admin disabled
Off Port is not powered, has no link
VIM5 Port LEDs in SPD Mode
SPD mode is used to help determine the operational speed of a port. Color and blink
pattern indicate speeds, as referenced by the following table:
Table 25: VIM5 Port LEDs in SPD Mode
Color/State Speed
Steady green 10Gbps
Blinking green 40Gbps
