This may be a dumb question but I would like to know why the uplink ports of a fabric extender are in amber color.
when I issue the command show fex xxx detail and show diagnostistic it gives me this output:

I see that the hardware is ok but all the ports are still amber, it gives l2 conectivity and works ok but this has been asked to me and is a real p in the a to find led color meanings for nexus.
thank you, points will be given.
