AltostratusSFP Port LEDs Blinking Yellow
Hi I upgraded the F5 OS to version 1.8 and the tenant software to 17.5.1.3. The upgrade went smoothly and both the Active and Standby devices successfully handled traffic after the upgrade.
However I have noticed that the SFP port LEDs on both the Primary and Secondary devices are blinking yellow. Both devices appear to be operating normally but I would like to confirm whether this is expected behavior Could the yellow blinking indicate a speed mismatch or should the LEDs be green under normal conditions
Thanks Enes. I appreciated the response.

Hi SRM,
It is normal for the yellow light to be on at the 25/10G ports for r5k/10k series devices.
