Troubleshooting

Step 2 Connect an appropriate cable to the XFP module port. Connect the other cable end into the other device.

For a list of supported modules, see the release notes on Cisco.com. For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and connecting to XFP modules, see the XFP module documentation.

Caution Removing and installing an XFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

For instructions on using the XFP patch cable, see the “Switch Installation” chapter of the hardware installation guide.

Verify Port Connectivity

After you connect to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link. This takes about 30 seconds. After the switch and the target device establish a link, the port LED turns green. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See the “Troubleshooting” section on page 11 for information about online assistance.

Troubleshooting

Initial Configuration Setup

If you have problems running the initial configuration dialog:

Did you verify that POST ran successfully before running the initial configuration dialog?

Did you press the Break key while the switch was still running POST?

If not, make sure that only the System LED is green before pressing the Break key or entering a break character.

If yes, wait until POST completes. Restart the switch. Wait until POST completes. Confirm that the System LED is green. Enter Reload to reinstall the flash memory.
