Switch internal power supply has failed, and the StackPower cable is providing power to the switch.

XPS The XPS LED shows the status of a connected Expandable Power System (XPS), such as an XPS-2200. This LED is available on the Catalyst 3750-X switches.

 

 

 

 

 

Off (dark)

XPS is not connected or is not properly connected.

Solid green

XPS is connected and is ready to provide back-up power.

Blinking green

XPS is connected but is unavailable because it is providing power to another device.

Solid amber

XPS is in standby mode or is in a fault condition.

Blinking amber

Switch internal power supply has failed, and the XPS is providing power to the switch.

STATUS

The STATUS LED shows that the port LEDs are in status mode. This is the default mode.

 

 

Off (dark)

The port LEDs are not showing port status.

Solid green

The port LEDs are showing port status.

DUPLEX

The DUPLEX LED shows that the port LEDs are in duplex mode.

 

 

Off (dark)

The port LEDs are not showing the port duplex mode.

Solid green

The port LEDs are showing the port duplex mode.

SPEED

The SPEED LED shows that the port LEDs are in speed mode.

 

 

Off (dark)

The port LEDs are not showing the port speed.

Solid green

The port LEDs are showing the port speed.

MASTER The MASTER LED shows the status of the stack master. This LED is on only if the switch is the stack master or is a standalone switch.

 

 

 

Off (dark)

Switch is not the stack master.

Solid green

Switch is the stack master or a standalone switch.

Solid amber

An error occurred when the switch was selecting the stack master switch or a stack error.

STACK

This STACK LED shows that the port LEDs are in stack mode.

 

 

Off (dark)

The port LEDs are not showing stack member status.

Solid green

The port LEDs are showing stack member status.

PoE The PoE LED shows that the port LEDs are in PoE mode. This LED is available on switches that have PoE ports.

 

 

 

Off (dark)

PoE to the ports is off.

Solid green

One or more ports is receiving PoE.

Blinking amber

One or more ports is not receiving PoE because of a fault.

EN The EN LED shows the status of the Ethernet Management (Fa0) port.

 

Off (dark)

No link is present on the port.

Solid green

Link is present between the port and the management station.

CONSOLE The CONSOLE LED shows the port status of the USB-B console port. This port is available on the 3750-X switches.

 

Off (dark)

No link is present on the port.

Solid green

Link is present between the port and the management station.

Port-Level LED States

LED Mode Description
Status

In this mode, the port LEDs show port status, port duplex mode, port speed, PoE status, and stack status.

By default, the port LEDs show port status. To display the port duplex mode and the port speed from the port LEDs, you must use the View list from the device manager or the Mode button on the physical switch.

 

Off (dark) No link.
Solid green Link is up, but there is no activity on the link.
Blinking green

Link has activity.

Solid brown

Port is administratively disabled.

Yellow Port is error disabled.
Blinking green and amber Link is faulty.
Blinking amber Port has a Smartports configuration mismatch.
Solid amber Port is faulty, is disabled due to an error condition, or is in an STP-blocked state.
Duplex

In this mode, the port LEDs show the duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the ports.

 
Off (dark) No link.
Solid light blue Port is in half-duplex mode.
Solid green Port is in full-duplex mode.
