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.

Thanks

What would a port be delivering power to if there is nothing plugged into that port?

Dorian,

Thank you for your response. I have also noticed that if I do a sh inl slot 4, this slots budgeted power shows only 20W. I'm thinking that I will need to take this switch out of production and run some extended diagnostics on it and get a call in to GTAC. 😞

Thanks though,
Stan

HI Stanley,

If I'm not mistaken, this means that there was a power surge/fault on the port.

This can be verified with the command:
show inline-power info port

To fix it try:
reset inline-power port

If that doesn't work try:
disable inline-power port
enable inline-power port
