• Port attention indicator 1—The yellow triangle status symbol ( ) on the port connector
graphic indicates that a link incident has occurred or that the port is not operational, is in
nonstandard mode of operation, or has other status. You can determine the reason for a link
incident by displaying the Port Properties dialog box for the port. For details on status indicators,
see Table 5 on page 71. For information on link incidents, see ”Link incident alerts” on
page 74.
• Port LED indicator 2—The two round indicators (green or blue and amber) to the left of each
port connector simulate LED operation on the actual switch port. A green LED indicates that the
port is on line with an operating speed of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). A blue LED indicates
that the port is on line with an operating speed of 2 Gbps. When the amber indicator is
illuminated steadily, the port has failed and requires service. For details on port LED indicators,
see Table 5 on page 71.
• Port failure indicator 3—A blinking red and yellow diamond ( ) over a port connector
indicates that the port has failed. See Table 5 on page 71 for details on port operational states
and the status symbol and indicator operation.
