Sync light flashing

Hi,

 

We have newly purchased 6 x S3300-28X switches, put them in a stack model,  Everything working fine with reasonable network performance but ALL ports on ALL 6 x S3300 switches flash in sync.  We have tried turning 5 off and only keeping the one with uplink to the core on but no improvement at all.

 

It there anything wrong or this is a normal behavior on this mobel of switch?

    Hi BennyCasper,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    If the network goes down with the LEDs flashing in sync indicates that there is a broadcast storm. But as you've said, everything works flawlessly. The LEDs normally flash if it is transmitting or receiving packets.
