Troubleshooting Using the Status LEDs
A blinking Port Status indicator (LED) signals a problem with a port or a link
connected to a port. Once a port detects a problem, you can further
analyze the problem by counting the number of blinks. Table 5-1 provides
troubleshooting suggestions for each of the blinking sequences.
Note: The LEDs provide accurate information only when unused
ports are disabled.
