I have an x460-48P that someone reported a port that went down. So I investigated and saw on the switch CLI that the port was enabled and ready, but showed nothing connected to it, even though there was a cable plugged in. So we disconnected the cable from the switch and now the port is blinking amber. What does this mean? I've never noticed an EMPTY port blinking amber before.
Thanks,
Stan

We are installing 460-g2s (15.6.3.1 P 1-3) for one of our customers and have found about 40 or 50 ports that flash amber show delivering power and ready.
We are able to correct this issue but unplugging the patch cable waiting about 10 seconds for the light to go out and then patching the cable back in.
It is sort of a minor issue other than the fact that you have to be in the closet to identify or correct the problem.

Drew,
It turned out that after running extended diagnostics, there was a PoE failure. The switch has been RMA'd by GTAC and we are up and running again.
Thanks for the follow up.

Hi Stan, Just curious if you've had a chance to reboot the switch to see if this fixes the problem.

Brandon,
Thank you for that suggestion! I will work with my site lead there and get a maintenance window to reboot that node.
I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

blinking amber means the port is providing POE power but there is no Ethernet device connected or the Ethernet link is not up. An example might be a phone booting before it turns on its etherenet link.
A POE fault would be alternating green/amber.

If there is nothing physically plugged into a port, and the LED is blinking amber, then something is wrong. Originally when I read your post, I thought you had a cable plugged into the port. Sorry for my confusion.
