Ports 1-16 support 802.3at PoE+
with up to 30W per port and a
PoE budget of 240 Watts. These
ports are standard Gigabit
Ethernet ports that support
10/100/1000 Mbps connections.
The Link LED on the left indicates
a 10/100 Mbps connection when
amber, blue indicates a 1 Gbps
connection, and if not illuminated,
the connection is down.
The PoE LED on the right will
illuminate amber when a device
connected to the port is being
powered via Ethernet.
Ports 17-24 are standard Gigabit
Ethernet ports that support
10/100/1000 Mbps connections.
The Link LED indicates a
10/100 Mbps connection when
amber, blue indicates a 1 Gbps
connection, and if not illuminated,

with 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, or
10 Gbps connections.
The Link LED on the left will
illuminate blue when there is
a 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, or 5 Gbps
connection, it will illuminate
white with a 10 Gbps connection.
The Activity LED on the right
flashes blue when there is activity
on a 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, or 5 Gbps
connection. It will flash white if
there is 10 Gbps network activity.
