Port LEDs
The following sections describe the twisted pair and fiber optic port LEDs.
A twisted pair port has two LEDs labeled L/A (link/activity) and D/C (duplex
mode/collisions). The L/A LED indicates the speed and activity on a port.
The D/C LED indicates the duplex mode (full- or half-duplex) and the
status of collisions on the port.
Table 3 describes the LEDs for the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports.
