Link LEDs and the 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 networking 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 33
.

Table 5 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.
