Off System is not powered on
Green System is operating normally
Amber System is receiving power but is not functioning properly.
Port LEDs and Modes
Each RJ-45 port and SFP module slot has a port LED. These port LEDs, as a group or individually, display information
about the switch and about the individual ports. The port modes determine the type of information displayed through
the port LEDs. Table 4-33 lists the mode LEDs and their associated port mode and meaning.
To select or change a mode, press the mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. See the “Switches and
Buttons” section in this chapter. When you change port modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change.
Table 4-34 explains how to interpret the port LED colors in different port modes.
Table 4-33 CGESM Switch Module Port LEDs and Modes
Mode LED Port Mode Description
STAT Port status The port status. This is the default mode.
DPLX Port duplex mode The port duplex mode: full duplex or half
duplex.
SPD Port speed The port operating speed: 10, 100, or
1000 Mbps.
Table 4-34 CGESM Switch Module - Meaning of LED Colors in Different Modes on the Switch
Port Mode LED Color Meaning
Off No link or port was administratively shut down.
Green Link present.
Flashing green Activity. Port is transmitting or receiving data.
Alternating green-amber Link fault. Error frames can affect connectivity, and errors such as
excessive collisions, CRC errors, and alignment and jabber errors are
monitored for link-fault indication.
STAT (port status)
Amber Port is blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and is not forwarding
data.
NOTE: After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can remain amber for up to 30 seconds as STP checks the switch for
possible loops.
Off Port is operating in half duplex mode. DPLX (duplex)
Green Port is operating in full duplex mode.
Off Port is operating at 10 Mbps.
Green Port is operating at 1000 Mbps.
SPD
Flashing green Port is operating at 1000 Mbps.
Server Blade Management Modules
The server blade management module has LEDs for identification, power status, and management activity. Use Figure
4-34 and Table 4-35 to identify LED locations and functions.
