I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to change how to port lights function on a 6500 switch.

Most switches work like this...

  • No Light - Port in shutdown or no connection
  • Solid Orange - Port error (spanning-tree issue, truck issue, etc...)
  • Flashing Orange - Duplex error
  • Flashing Green - Working

On the cisco 6500 it works like this...

  • Solid Orange - Port Shutdown
  • Flashing Orange - Duplex error
  • Flashing Green - Working

Which is fine except I'm colourblind and its extremely difficult to tell the orange apart from the green led so if anyone know of a way to change this it would help be greatly the internet seems to say this is just the way it is but maybe its wrong.

  • I accepted the one answer its technically correct but doesn't solve the core issue. I solved this by writing a small shell script that runs and shows the port status in the console. Not ideal but better then nothing
