System LEDs

Indication

 

 

 

 

Fault

• When lit, one or more of the ports has failed or the internal temperature has

 

(yellow LED)

exceeded acceptable levels.

 

 

• When flashing, all ports are operational but another error has occurred. Errors appear

 

 

in an event log. The level of error severity that will cause flashing to start can be

 

 

controlled using the config sys fault command in the CLI. The default is level 3,

 

 

Critical.

 

 

Note: Whether lit or flashing, the switch will continue to operate. Switch functionality

 

 

may be impaired depending on the event that triggered the Fault LED. Regardless of

 

 

the cause, the switch requires immediate attention.

 

 

 

 

Power

When lit, the switch is plugged in and the internal power supply is functional.

 

(green LED)

 

 

 

 

 

2 Gb/s

When lit, the switch is set to operate at a speed of 2 Gb/s. When off, the switch is set to

 

(green LED)

1 Gb/s.

 

 

 

 

Switch

• When lit, indicates that the switch has completed initialization for ports with inserted

 

Operational

SFPs and that the switch is operational.

 

(green LED)

• When flashing, the switch has been configured for multiple zones, and one or more

 

 

zones are up with at least one zone down.

 

 

If no zones (excluding hard zones) are operational, the LED turns off.

 

 

 

 

Port LEDs

 

 

 

 

 

The Port LEDs indicate the port’s status. Each port has two LEDs:

•SFP Status LED

•Port Bypassed LED

SFP Status

Indication

(green LED)

(yellow LED)

 

 

 

 

Off

Off

Normal port operational status when an SFP is not installed.

 

 

 

Off

On or Flashing

The port is bypassed due to a faulty or improperly seated SFP. After

 

 

fixing this problem, power may need to be cycled before the LED

 

 

indication will change.

 

 

 

Flashing

Off

Activity. Data is being transferred between the port and device.

 

 

 

On

Off

Normal operation but no activity. Port and device are fully operational.

 

 

 

On

Flashing

Manually bypassed. A port can be manually bypassed using the Web

 

 

Manager’s Bypass Port feature.

 

 

 

On

On

Bypassed. SFP is installed but the port is not receiving a valid signal or

 

 

is receiving an F8 Failure notification from the attached device.

 

 

 

Flashing

Flashing

Beaconing. This is set manually using the Web Manager or CLI.
