LED

 

Indication

Description

 

 

 

 

Enabled

 

Green

Indicates that the network processing engine or network

 

 

 

services engine and the I/O controller are enabled for

 

 

 

operation by the system; however, it does not mean that the

 

 

 

Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller is functional or

 

 

 

enabled. This LED goes on during a successful router boot

 

 

 

and remains on during normal operation of the router.

 

 

 

IO POWER OK

Amber

Indicates that the I/O controller is on and receiving DC power

 

 

 

from the router midplane. This LED comes on during a

 

 

 

successful router boot and remains on during normal

 

 

 

operation of the router.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off

Powered off or failed.

 

 

 

 

Slot 0

 

Green

These LEDs indicate which PC Card slot is in use by coming

Slot 1

 

 

on when either slot is being accessed by the system. These

 

 

LEDs remain off during normal operation of the router.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Link

 

Green

Indicates that the Ethernet RJ-45 receptacle has established a

 

 

 

valid link with the network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off

This LED remains off during normal operation of the router

 

 

 

unless there is an incoming carrier signal

 

 

 

 

100 Mbps

 

Green

Indicates that the port is configured for 100-Mbps operation

 

 

 

(speed 100), or if configured for autonegotiation (speed

 

 

 

auto), the port has detected a valid link at 100 Mbps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off

If the port is configured for 10-Mbps operation, or if it is

 

 

 

configured for autonegotiation and the port has detected a

 

 

 

valid link at 10 Mbps, the LED remains off.

 

 

 

 

All of these physical interfaces are separated into the logical interfaces from FIPS as described in Table 3.

Integrated Service Adapter

The ISA is a single-width service adapter. It provides high-performance, hardware-assisted tunneling and encryption services suitable for VPN applications. The ISA off-loads IPSec and MPPE processing from the main processor of the Cisco 7200 series router, thus freeing resources on the network processor engine.

The ISA has one enabled LED and two status LEDs. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the ISA has been enabled for operation. If the initialization fails for any reason, the enabled LED does not go on.

Figure 3 shows the LEDs for the ISA Crypto Card with one enabled LED and two status LEDs.
