A switch is powered up, and the system LED is amber.
Which of the following describes this situation?

A.
The switch is malfunctioning.

B.
Utilization level is high.

C.
The switch is performing normally.

D.
There is a security violation on a switch port.

Explanation:
The system LED indicates the overall health of the switch. The LED should turn solid green after a successful
Power On Self Test (POST). An amber system LED indicates that there is a system-wide failure in the switch.
High utilization will not cause the system LED to turn amber.
An amber system LED indicates a general switch malfunction. It does not indicate that the switch is performing
normally.
Port security violations will not cause the system LED to be amber. The system LED is used to identify the
overall health of the switch.
