Description
STAT

No link.
Green
Link present.
Blinking green
Activity on the port. Port is transmitting or receiving data.
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.
Port is not forwarding. Port was disabled by management, or by an
address violation, or was blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Note
After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can remain amber
for up to 30 seconds as STP checks the switch for possible
loops.
Brown
No link and port is administratively shut down.
FDUP
Cyan (off)
Port is operating in half-duplex mode.
Green
Port is operating in full-duplex mode.
SPD
