Insert the other cable end in an LC port on the target device.
Step 3
Observe the port status LED.
Step 4
The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established
link.
The LED turns amber while STP discovers the network topology and searches for

If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable

device. See
Reconfigure and restart the target device, if necessary.
