  • 1.  JL813A orange SFP led

    Posted 06-06-2023 10:04 AM

    Just inserted an AVAGO afbr-57r5aez sfp module, it works (data flowing) but related LED blinks orange, why is this ? can I look deeper in troubleshooting (log, device status, etc. ) ?

    Thanks

    Documentation is poor, but from a past response I got about supported transceivers, this is likely normal.

    HP/Aruba transceivers, or generic transceivers that mimic them, get a green light when all is well.

    Unsupported transceivers are indicated by flashing the LED.  I'm not sure if this means flashing the red LED and it mixing with green causes it to appear amber, or if they intentionally flash it as amber.

    The switch doesn't actively block unsupported transceivers, it just changes the LED behavior to indicate it's not supported.

    If it works, and you don't see any errors or massive amounts of dropped packets, then it should be fine.
