all of the leds described in this section are visible in the cms and network assistant guis. the switch online help describes how to use cms or network assistant to configure and monitor individual switches and switch clusters.
the poe led is only visible on catalyst 3560 switches that support poe.
system led
the system led shows whether the system is receiving power and is functioning properly. table 1-1 lists the led colors and their meanings.
for information on the system led colors during the power-on self-test (post), see the “verifying switch operation” .
rps led
the rps led shows the rps status. table 1-2 lists the led colors and their meanings.
for more information about the cisco rps 675, see the cisco rps 675 redundant power system hardware installation guide.
port leds and modes
each rj-45 port and sfp module slot has a port led. these port leds, as a group or individually,display information about the switch and about the individual ports. the port modes determine the type of information displayed through the port leds. table 1-3 lists the mode leds and their associated port mode and meaning.
to select or change a mode, press the mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. when you change port modes, the meanings of the port led colors also change. table 1-5 explains how to interpret the port led colors in different port modes.
when installed in catalyst 3560 switches, 1000base-t sfp modules can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 mbps in full-duplex mode or at 10 or 100 mbps in half-duplex mode.
even if poe mode is not selected, the poe led still shows poe problems when they are detected.
table 1-4 lists the poe mode led colors and their meanings. the poe led applies only to catalyst 3560 switches that support poe.
