Nortel 5520 1

Sorry for the inexperienced question but on my 5520's when I view them with device manager, what is the difference between connected ports with orange/green/red P's... ;(

I thought it was the port connection speed but it varies from port to port.

Thanks in advance

ok let me explain more...

when u plug something into the switch your port turns green, and inside the green the is a capital P, on my 5520s maybe 5510s also i dont remember, those P's are green, red, orange... and all are funtioning... so red cannot mean down in the case of the P in the the green port

P is for PWR (or power, or PoE)...

Sounds like a possible Sesame Street song, to the tune of "C is for Cookie". :-D
