Description

 

 

 

 

STATUS

 

 

Indicates the results of a series of self-tests:

 

 

Green

All diagnostic tests passed.

 

 

Red

A test failed.

 

 

Orange

System boot or diagnostic test is in progress, or two power

 

 

 

supplies are installed but only one is turned on.

 

 

Off

Module is disabled.

 

 

 

 

UTILIZATION

 

Green 1–100%

If the switch is operational, this display indicates the current

 

 

 

traffic load over the backplane (as an approximate percentage).

 

 

 

 

LINK

 

 

Indicates the status of the 10/100BASE-T port,

 

 

 

10/100/1000BASE-T or uplink ports:

 

 

Green

The link is operational.

 

 

Orange

The link is disabled by user.

 

 

Flashing orange

The power-on self-test indicates a faulty port.

 

 

Off

No signal is detected or there is a link configuration failure.

 

 

 

 

ACTIVE

 

 

Indicates whether the uplink port is active or not:

(uplink port)

 

Green

The port is active.

 

 

Off

The port is not active.

 

 

 

 

ACTIVE

 

 

The LED to the right of the uplink ports is only used in switches

 

 

 

with two supervisors. The LED lights on the active supervisor.

 

 

 

 

Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Ports

The Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports operate in full-duplex mode only. GBICs have SC connectors to interface with multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable. For more information about GBICs, refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide. Frequently updated compatibility information for GBICs, X2s, and SFPs are in documents at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5455/products_device_support_tables_list.html

When two Supervisor Engine Vs are present in a Catalyst 4507R-E and Catalyst 4510R-E, all four uplinks are active on both Primary (active) and Secondary (standby) supervisor engines by default, or two uplinks are active in a non-redundant configuration. This limits access to slot 10 on the Catalyst 4510R to ports 3 and 4 only. You can only use the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X4302-GB) in slot 10 (flex-slot) when a Supervisor Engine V is used.
