1. Overview

You can use the switch LEDs to monitor the activity and performance of a network switch or router. Using the LED control functionality, you can control the LEDs that are available in the Accton/Edgecore 5916-KXS switches.

There are two types of LEDs available in the switch:

  • Network Port LEDs

  • System LEDs

This document focuses on the network port LEDs.

The default behaviour of switch LEDs are available in this release, but because of the inaccessibility to APIs to set and customize LEDs for the platform, the following features are currently not supported:

  • LED Indication of operator on an RBMS console “marking” a port for remote-hands support

  • REST API for setting LED state with a timeout

  • Change system LEDs color for fault state to red

1.1. Port LED Default Definition for Edgecore AS5916-54XK

The network port LEDs are used to represent the status of the link associated with the LED. In an Accton/Edgecore 5916-KXS switch, there are 48*10G SFP+ ports and 6*100G QSFP28 on the front panel, the all SFP/QSFP28 will operate in full duplex mode when the speed is 10Gbps or 100Gbps.
