Switch ID LED

The Switch ID LED, shown in Figure 6, displays the ID number of the 
switch. A stand-alone switch has the ID number 0. Switches in a VCStack 
have the numbers 1 to 4. Chapter 10, “Powering On the Stack” on page 
105 has the procedure for verifying and, if necessary, changing the ID 
number of the switch.

Figure 6. Switch ID LED

The states of the LED when the switch is not operating in the low power 
mode are shown in Figure 7.

Link/Activity

Off

The slot is empty, the transceiver has not 
established a link to a network device, or 
the LEDs are turned off. To turn on the 
LEDs, use the eco-friendly button.

Solid green

The transceiver has established a link at 
10 Gbps to another switch in the stack.
