Diagnosing Problems

The switch LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show boot fast failures, port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from Device Manager, the CLI, or an SNMP workstation. See the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Software Configuration Guide, the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com, or the documentation that came with your SNMP application for details.

Switch Boot Fast

See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-47for information on boot fast.

Note Boot fast failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco TAC representative if your switch does not successfully complete boot fast.

Note You can disable the boot fast and run POST by using the Cisco IOS CLI, see the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference for more information.
