Interpreting port-side LEDs
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.
48 bicolor (green/amber) port status LEDs, one for each SFP+ port. 4 tri-color LEDs, one for each QSFP
port on the switch. The QSFP LED will flash 1 to 4 times to indicate whether the focus is on port 0 (1
flash), port 1 (2 flashes), port 2 (3 flashes), or port 3 (4 flashes).
There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights may be
slow, fast, or flickering. The lights are green or amber. Sometimes, the LEDs may flash either of the colors
during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the
LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
