| Solid green | Power supply module is installed.
PS OK | The PS OK LED shows the status of the power from the installed power supply. This LED does not appear on the Front Panel view for the Catalyst 3560E-12D, Catalyst 3560E-12SD, and Catalyst 3560-X switches. This LED is available on switches that support internal power supply modules.
|  | Off (dark) | No power from the installed power supply module.
| Solid green | Power from either the installed power supply module or PoE port is good.
| Solid amber | Power from either the installed power supply module or PoE port is faulty.
PS1 and PS2 | The status of the power from the installed power supply modules. Both of these LEDs are available only on the Catalyst 3560E-12D and Catalyst 3560E-12SD switches.
|  | Solid green | Power supply modules are providing power to the switch.
| Solid amber | One or more power supply modules are faulty.
FAN | The status of the installed fan modules. This LED is available only on the Catalyst 3560E-12D and Catalyst 3560E-12SD switches.
|  | Solid green | Fan modules are operating.
| Solid amber | One or more fan modules are faulty.
XPS | The XPS LED shows the status of a connected Expandable Power System (XPS), such as an XPS-2200. This LED is available only on the Catalyst 3560-X switches.
|  | Off (dark) | XPS is not connected or is not properly connected.
| Solid green | XPS is connected and is ready to provide back-up power.
| Blinking green | XPS is connected but is unavailable because it is providing power to another device.
| Solid amber | XPS is in standby mode or is in a fault condition.
| Blinking amber | Switch internal power supply has failed, and the XPS is providing power to the switch.
STATUS | The STATUS LED shows that the port LEDs are in status mode. This is the default mode.
|  | Off (dark) | The port LEDs are not showing port status.
| Solid green | The port LEDs are showing port status.
DUPLEX | The DUPLEX LED shows that the port LEDs are in duplex mode.
|  | Off (dark) | The port LEDs are not showing the port duplex mode.
| Solid green | The port LEDs are showing the port duplex mode.
SPEED | The SPEED LED shows that the port LEDs are in speed mode.
|  | Off (dark) | The port LEDs are not showing the port speed.
| Solid green | The port LEDs are showing the port speed.
PoE | The PoE LED shows that the port LEDs are in PoE mode. This LED is available on switches that have PoE ports.
|  | Off (dark) | PoE to the ports is off.
| Solid green | One or more ports is receiving PoE.
| Blinking amber | One or more ports is not receiving PoE because of a fault.
EN | The EN LED shows the status of the Ethernet Management (Fa0) port. This LED is not available on the Catalyst 3560-C switches.
|  | Off (dark) | No link is present on the port.
| Solid green | Link is present between the port and the management station.
CONSOLE | The CONSOLE LED shows the port status of the USB-B console port. This LED is available only on the 3560-X switches.
|  | Off (dark) | No link is present on the port.
| Solid green | Link is present between the port and the management station.
PD | The Powered Device (PD) LED shows the status of power being supplied from a switch uplink port to a PoE device that is connected to a switch downlink port. This LED is available only on the Catalyst 3560-C switches.
|  | Solid green | Power from the switch uplink port is sufficient to power the PoE device.
| Solid amber | Power from the switch uplink port is not sufficient to power the PoE device.

LED Mode | Description
Status | In this mode, the port LEDs show port status, port duplex mode, port speed, and PoE status. By default, the port LEDs show port status. To display the port duplex mode and the port speed from the port LEDs, you must use the View list from the device manager or the Mode button on the physical switch.
|  | Off (dark) | No link.
| Solid green | Link is up, but there is no activity on the link.
| Blinking green | Link has activity.
| Solid brown | Port is administratively disabled.
| Yellow | Port is error disabled.
| Blinking green and amber | Link is faulty.
| Blinking amber | Port has a Smartports configuration mismatch.
| Solid amber | Port is faulty, is disabled due to an error condition, or is in an STP-blocked state.
Duplex | In this mode, the port LEDs show the duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the ports.
|  | Off (dark) | No link.
| Solid light blue | Port is in half-duplex mode.
| Solid green | Port is in full-duplex mode.
Speed | In this mode, the port LEDs show the operating speed of the ports.
|  | Off (dark) | No link.
| Solid light blue | 10 Mb/s.
| Solid green | 100 Mb/s.
| Blinking green | 1000 Mb/s.
| Fast blinking green | 10 Gb/s.
