Label
Enterprise Device Manager (EDM) representation of physical LED
status
EDM displays the same LEDs that you see on the physical device.
Note:
LED blinking in EDM is representative of, but not identical to, the actual LED blinking rates on
the switch.
For more information about the LEDs and a description of the blinking rates, see the preceding LED
sections.

40GBASE-QSFP+ ports

When a port is channelized, use only break out cables (copper or active optical DAC) in it. Using
other cables in either a channelized port or a non-channelized port results in mismatched link status
between link partners, which can lead to network issues.

• For the VSP 8200 Series, MACsec is supported only on the 10G SFP+ ports. It is not
