      Hey everyone,
      Just set up a new 6100. WAN is on one rj45 port of the combo ports (wan1, ix3). The LEDs show a reddish/amber left and a green right.
      I searched quite a while but couldn't find any official description of what those led colors mean...
      Any ideas from the pros or more experienced crowd here?
      Thanks in advance...

        No way.
        Just more lazy.

        Look at the color of the led, and then check what the GUI tells you :

          Hmm, I though those were documented but I'm not seeing it now.

          On both the combo ports and the 2.5G LAN ports the right LED lights green to indicate link and flashes to indicate data.
          The left LED indicates the link speed. On the combo ports it is orange at 1G and green at 100M.
          On the LAN ports it is green at 2.5G, Orange at 1G and off at 100M and 10M.
