Meaning of Port LED Colors in Different Modes for the LRE Switches
Port Mode
Color
Meaning
STAT (port status)
Off
No link.
Solid green
Link present.
Note
The LRE port LED turns green approximately 30 seconds
after the LRE port detects a connection to an LRE CPE.
Flashing green Activity. Port is sending or receiving data.
Alternating
green-amber
Link fault. Error frames can affect connectivity, and errors such
as excessive collisions, CRC errors, and alignment and jabber
errors are monitored for a link-fault indication.
Solid amber
A link is established on a nonassigned LRE profile, or a port is
not forwarding.
If a port is not forwarding, it was disabled by management, an
address violation, or STP.
Note
After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can remain
amber for up to 30 seconds while STP checks the switch
for possible loops.

(half or full duplex)
Off
Port is operating in half duplex.
Green
Port is operating in full duplex.
