LED Mode Select Button and Indicator LEDs

To optimize the amount of information that can be displayed for each of the

switch ports, the Switch 5300xl Series use a Mode LED for each port. The

operation of this LED is controlled by the LED Mode Select button on the

switch chassis, and the current selection is indicated by the mode indicator

LEDs near the button. Press the button to change from one mode to the next.

Figure 1-7. Example Mode Select button and Mode LEDs

■ If the Activity indicator LED is lit, each port Mode LED displays

activity information for the port—it flickers as network traffic is received

and transmitted through the port.

■ If the Full Duplex indicator LED is lit, the port Mode LEDs light for

those ports that are operating in full duplex.

■ If the maximum speed indicator LED is lit, the port Mode LEDs light

for those ports that are operating at their maximum possible link speed,

for example 1000 Mbps on a 100/1000-T port.

■ If the attention indicator LED is lit, each Mode LED lights briefly for

each network event that might require operator attention, for example,

late collisions or CRC errors. See chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for more

information.
