Hello caifan125,
Port LEDs turn amber/yellow when it is running a 10/100mbps speed with the LAN device connected to it.
• Solid Green - A valid 1000 Mbps link is established on the port.
• Flashing Green - Packet transmission or reception is occurring on the port at 1000 Mbps.
• Solid Yellow - A valid 10/100 Mbps link is established on the port.
• Flashing Yellow - Packet transmission or reception is occurring on the port at 10/100 Mbps.
• Off - No 10/100 Mbps link is established on the port.
• Solid Green - Full-duplex link is established on the port.
• Off - No full-duplex or half-duplex link is established on the port.
However, in your case, even if the LAN port is empty it still lights up. That does not sound right. I suggest you do factory reset on the switch, FW update if you can access the admin page. And if youg et the same results, it needs replacement.
