• The switch powers down and stays down for a few minutes to a few days for

no clear reason.

• The output-fail LED on the power supplies are red and no power is delivered

to the chassis. The other LEDs on the power supply are green.

• The Status LEDs on the switching modules and the supervisor engine are

flashing green.

• CPU Utilization LEDs are flashing green or off.

If you observe these conditions, contact the Cisco TAC for assistance in ordering

replacement redundancy modules and a clock.

Troubleshooting Switching Modules

Each switching module has one LED labeled STATUS that provides information

about the module and one numbered LED labeled LINK for each port on the

module. Figure 5-1 shows the Gigabit Ethernet port and status LEDs. Figure 5-2

shows the 10/100BASE-T port LEDs. Table 5-1 describes the switching module

LEDs and their expected behavior.
