SBx STATUS LEDs

SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch Installation Guide

The SBx LINECARD STATUS LEDs display general status information about the Ethernet line cards and controller cards. There is one LED for each slot. If the chassis has two controller cards, the SBx Status LEDs on both cards are active. The LEDs are defined in Table 11.

Table 11. SBx LINECARD STATUS LEDs

LEDs

State

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off

Indicates that the slot is empty.

 

 

 

 

Solid Green

Indicates that the Ethernet line or controller

 

 

card is operating normally.

 

 

 

 

Flashing Green

Indicates that the card is booting up,

 

 

running in test mode, or loading its

1 to 12

 

configuration settings.

 

 

 

Solid Amber

Indicates that the card is in an off-line state.

 

 

Possible causes are:

 

 

An Ethernet line card that displays this

 

 

LED state may have encountered a

 

 

problem initializing the management

 

 

software.

 

 

An Ethernet line card that displays this

 

 

LED state might not be able to boot up

 

 

because the controller card does not

 

 

have the appropriate load file and

 

 

needs to be updated to the most recent

 

 

release of the AlliedWare Plus

 

 

Operating System.

 

 

A standby master controller card that

 

 

displays this LED state may have been

 

 

disabled by the active master controller

 

 

card because the cards have

 

 

incompatible versions of the AlliedWare

 

 

Plus Operating System and were

 

 

unable to resolve the problem, possibly

 

 

because of insufficient free flash

 

 

memory.

 

 

You may remove a line or controller card

 

 

from the chassis when it is in this state.

 

 

 

 

Flashing Amber

Indicates that the card is reporting a fault

 

 

condition. Use the management commands

 

 

to determine the specific problem.
