PoE LED
The PoE LED indicates the status of the PoE mode: either PoE, PoE+ or UPOE.
Table 3: PoE LED
Color Description
Off PoE mode is not enabled. None of the 10/100/1000 ports have been denied power
or are in a fault condition.
Green PoE mode is enabled and Port LEDs function as described in Port LEDs and Modes,
on page 3.
Port LEDs and Modes
Each Ethernet port has a port LED. These port LEDs, as a group or individually, display information about
the switch and about the individual ports. To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired
mode is highlighted. When you change port modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change.

Port Mode Ports LED Status Link Status
STAT (port status) Off No link, or port was administratively shut down.
Green Link present, no activity.
Blinking green Activity. Port is sending or receiving data.
Alternating Link fault. Error frames can affect connectivity, and
green-amber errors such as excessive collisions, CRC errors, and
alignment and jabber errors are monitored for a
link-fault indication.
Amber Port is blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and
is not forwarding data.
After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can be
amber for up to 30 seconds as STP checks the switch
for possible loops.
Blinking amber Port is blocked by STP and is sending and receiving
data.

Green PoE mode is enabled, and the port LED displays green
when the switch port is providing power.
Amber PoE is disabled for the port.
Blinking amber PoE mode is off due to a fault condition.
Alternating green PoE port is denied power because providing power to

PD Power LED
The PD Power LED indicates the status of the additional LED under the PD port of C9200CX-12T.

Table 4: PD Power LED
Color Description
Off PD power is not active.
Green System is powered by PD power.
Amber System has detected and classified PD power that is insufficient to power the
system.
Note • The LED glows amber to indicate a host PSE system in 802.3at mode
where Class 6 Single Signature PD is not detected.
• UPOE+ system, if using 802.3bt mode, can power up the system.
• Auxiliary power input is of high priority and will be used, if available.
Beacon LED
The beacon can be enabled by using the CLI.
