Display Mode Button
Each Ethernet port has an LED, which displays information about the port. You can control the type of
information that the port LEDs display by pressing the display mode button and its LEDs.
The Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch has multiple LEDs, one for each different mode. To select
or change a mode, press the display mode button until the desired mode LED is lit. When you choose a mode,
the disply mode button LED turns solid green, and the port LEDs light up according to the mode. When you
change port modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change. The display mode button LED turns
off after 5 seconds or when you choose a different mode.
The IE9310 and IE9320 switches have Speed, Duplex, and Redundancy modes and LEDs. The IE9320 switch
also has a Stack LED.
The modes apply to SFP and copper ports. Combination ports have two port LEDs, one by the SFP
connector and the second by the RJ-45 connector. Only one can be active at a time.
For details about the display modes and corresponding port LEDs, see the section
in this document.
Note
Express Setup Button
Express Setup is a web-based procedure to configure initial IP address information to the new switch. It
provides a simple way to manage the switch and connect it to an existing network of local routers and the
internet.
The front panel of the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switch has an Express Setup button and a setup
LED. The button is recessed to prevent accidental activation; you need a paper clip or similar object to press
it. Express Setup has three modes, which you trigger by varying the amount of time that you press the button.
