duplex and auto MDI/MDIX. When configuring a
particular port, reference the interface name that
corresponds to the location of the port. For the default

Device Status LEDs and Ethernet Port LEDs
The device LEDs show information about current
device status. When the device is powered
up, the POWER LED changes from off to solid
green and the SYSTEM LED changes from off
to solid green. Startup takes approximately one
minute to complete. The Ethernet LEDs show
the status of each Ethernet port. Table 2 lists
the name, color, status, and description of each
device LED.
Note: If you would like to turn the device off and
on again, we recommend waiting a few seconds
between shutting it down and powering it back on.
