Item Description Function

1

MGMT port activity LED

Reports MGMT port activity:

  • Flashing green = Activity on the MGMT port

  • Off = No activity on the MGMT port

2

LINK port activity LED

Reports LINK port activity:

  • Flashing green = Activity on the LINK port

  • Off = No activity on the LINK port
