Explanation

On a Cisco IE 2000 switch, a solid green port status LED means a link is established - the port has successfully connected to another device at the physical layer, making B correct. Option A is wrong because blinking green (not solid) indicates active data transmission. Option C is the opposite of correct - no link would show no LED or an amber/off state. Option D (link fault) is indicated by amber, not green. Option E (not forwarding, such as when STP blocks the port) is also shown as amber, not solid green.

Memory tip: Think of green as "good" - solid green = stable connection exists, blinking green = data is going. Amber always means something is wrong or blocked.
