Review the Front Panel View and the LEDs
The Front Panel view (Figure 6-1) is a graphical display of the switch front panel,
and it is always visible during the device manager session. The switch
components on the Front Panel view are color coded by status. The colors help
you to quickly see if a fault or an error condition exists.
Figure 6-1 Front Panel View
The LEDs on the Front Panel view and on the physical switch match. Table 6-1
describes the system-level LEDs. Table 6-2 describes the port LEDs. You can
change the port LED behavior by selecting a port mode from the View list on the
Front Panel view.
