Smart

MissingLink

Mode

The Smart MissingLink mode pulses the transmitter on a port when its
companion port in a channel loses or has not established a link to its
network device. The blinking Link LED can make it easier for you to
identify and troubleshoot a link problem on the two ports of a channel. For
more information on this operating mode, refer to “Smart MissingLink
Mode” on page 22.

Table 9 lists the combinations and definitions of the Link LEDs for the
twisted pair port and fiber optic port of a channel operating in this mode.
