Port LEDs
Gigabit Ports
Each Giga port has two LEDs associated with it. The speed/link (LNK) LED
is located on the left side of the port, while the activity/PoE LED is located on
the right side of the port. The activity/PoE LED is labelled ACT in non-PoE
devices, and is labelled PoE in PoE-enabled devices, as shown in Figure 5-5.
