19.1.4 The FD/COL LED
Use this LED to check the duplex mode of the attached Ethernet device.
Table 19-4 Troubleshooting FD/COL LED
STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION
1
The Ethernet device is connected at full-duplex mode if the FD/COL LED is
yellow.
2
The Ethernet device is connected at half-duplex mode when the FD/COL LED is
off.
3 Make sure you have the correct speed and flow control enabled for each port.
Refer to the Port Control chapter.
3 This LED blinks if packet collisions are occurring. Collisions are normal, but if the
FD/COL LED blinks very frequently, you may need to segment your network.
