Orange link light on DMZ interface

heather.burke — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 18:54:54 GMT

Does anyone know why my DMZ interface always only shows an orange link light? It has all the same settings as the other interfaces but stays orange. I don't know if this could/would cause any issues.

Hi Heather,

Here is a link which details the color of the link lights:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/asa/asa80/getting_started/asa5500/quick/guide/inst5550.html#wp1041140

The orange (or amber) light indicates it is operating at 1Gbps if it is a built-in interface on the ASA.

Hope this helps!

hmm it won't let me view that link (forbidden file error) Does it explain why it is different than the other

interfaces? I have tried multiple cables, switches, everything and it stays the same. It seems odd to me that this

should be so.
