Ethernet Port LEDs
To see the link activity and connection speed of an Ethernet port, you can look at its Link/Act and Speed LEDs.
shows the status the LEDs convey through their color and illumination (steady glow or blinking).

LEDs
Drive Indicator
An LED that flashes green to indicate when the hard drive processes data.
Power Indicator
An LED that glows green when there is power to the appliance. When it is dark, the
appliance is not receiving power.
MGMT Port
A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that you can use for appliance management
or DNS service. You can enable the MGMT port and define its use through the GUI after
the initial setup.
HA Port
A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port through which the active node in an HA
(high availability) pair connects to the network using a VIP (virtual IP) address. HA pair
nodes also use their HA ports for VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)
advertisements.
LAN1 Port
A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects a NIOS appliance to the
network. You must use the LAN1 port to set up the appliance initially. It handles all
traffic if you do not enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. The passive node in an HA pair
uses this port to synchronize the database with the active node.
LAN2 Port
A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects a NIOS appliance to the
network. The LAN2 port is not enabled by default. You can enable the LAN2 port and
define its use through the GUI after the initial setup.
