Verifying System Operation

Verify that the stack has at least one Management Module correctly installed and operating. The “Mgmt” LED on the switch that contains the Management Module should be on, indicating that the module is installed and operating correctly.

Verify that the stack connections are operating correctly. Each switch in the stack has it’s own unique unit ID (a number from 1 to 4) displayed by the front-panel LCD labeled “Switch ID.” If any switch in the stack displays a flashing or unstable unit ID for more than 30 seconds, you should check the following items:

•Reset the stack by powering off all switches and then powering them back on.

•Be sure that all Stacking Modules are correctly installed in each switch’s lower-left slot and the stacking cables are properly attached.

Verify that any optional modules are installed correctly. The Module 1 or Module 2 “Status” LEDs on the switch panel should be on, indicating that the modules are installed and operating correctly.

Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the link status for each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch and transmitting a link signal, the Link indicator will light up for the corresponding port. If the Link indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch, check the following items:

•Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly attached to the connected device and the switch.
