What is the meaning of the PoE status LED?
The PoE status LED is a cumulative LED for all the ports/slots. It allows the user to see the PoE state of the switch at a glance without putting all the LEDs into PoE mode. The LED displays the highest level of failure/alert of all the slots/ports. So, if one of the ports is denied power and the port LED is flashing an alert in PoE mode, then the PoE status LED is also flashing an alert. If one of the ports is faulted because of an internal hardware problem, then the PoE status is flashing a fault (i.e., slow-flash amber). You can interpret the LED as follows: PoE status = green: There is at least one PoE-capable port in the system, and everything is OK. PoE status = slow flash amber: One or more ports has an internal hardware fault. PoE status = fast flash amber: One or more ports is denied power or detecting an external PD fault. PoE status = off: There are no PoE-capable ports in the system or the PoE sub-system is not fully initialized yet. To determine which port or ports are the
