PoE LED
Even if the PoE mode is not selected, the LED shows PoE problems when they are detected (
Table 1-8
).
The PoE LED is only on the switches that support PoE.
PD LED
Applies only to the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L and 3560PD-8PT-S switches. (
Table 1-9

Dual-Purpose Port LEDs
The dual-purpose port LEDs identify the connection as either a copper-based connector or an SFP
module. The ports can autonegotiate, or you can manually configure each dual-purpose port as either
10/100/1000 with copper connectors or as an SFP-module port, but not as both types at the same time.
See
Table 1-7
