3560C Amber LED but no error

[dcuddefo]

Hello,

I have a PS3 connected to a Gig port on my 3560. When I boot-up the PS3 I have to wait around 30 seconds for it to get DHCP.

I noticed the orange LED would stay on and go green after 30 seconds. I assumed I would have an error-state but I do not, the port show connected with no errors even though it's orange. I have no connectivity from the ps3 until the light goes green and then all is well. The port is access and I have manually configured duplex and speed.

Hi,

Can you post the config for the port connected to PS3?

[pille1234 · Accepted solution]

Configure 'spanning-tree portfast' where you entered speed and duplex and the 30s waiting period goes away.

yay - of course!

Thanks

It's odd how ios doesn't give any error other than the orange led. But thanks so much. 30 seconds quicker bootup time

When you enable portfast, the port transition to forwarding state immediately without going through listening and learning STP phases.
