Balaji, the model is 2960-X Series. Not aware if anyone has pressed the mode button, as it is in central server room.

Console LEDs

The console LEDs show which console port is in use. If you connect a cable to a console port, the switch automatically uses that port for console communication. If you connect two console cables, the USB console port has priority.
