SYSTEM LED

The SYSTEM LED shows the status of the switch (system).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid green

Switch is healthy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking green

Switch is running power-on self-test (POST). POST is a series

 

 

 

of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch

 

 

 

functions properly. It might take several minutes for the

 

 

 

switch to complete POST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid amber

Switch is faulty, is rebooting, or is in recovery.

 

 

 

 

5

ALERT LED

The ALERT LED shows the presence of a switch problem.

 

 

When the switch detects a problem on one or more ports, the Alert LED turns

 

 

amber. The Alert LED stays amber until the Alert Log is cleared. For more

 

 

information about the Alert LED and Alert Log, see Table 6-1and the “Review

 

 

the Alert Log” section on page 6-8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off (dark)

No switch problem is detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid amber

A switch problem is detected.

 

 

 

 

6

PoE LED

The PoE LED shows the status of PoE being provided to the ports.

 

 

This LED is available on switches that have PoE ports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off (dark)

PoE to the ports is off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid green

One or more ports is receiving PoE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking amber

One or more ports is not receiving PoE because of a fault.

 

 

 

 

7

RPS LED

The RPS LED shows the status of a connected redundant power system (RPS).

 

 

This LED is available on switches that have an RPS connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off (dark)

RPS is off or is not properly connected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid green

RPS is connected and is ready to provide back-up power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking green

RPS is connected but is unavailable because it is providing

 

 

 

power to another device.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid amber

RPS is in standby mode or is in a fault condition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking amber

Switch internal power supply has failed, and the RPS is

 

 

 

providing power to the switch.
