Monitoring the GbE Interconnect Switch Using the Active Switch Graphic

At the right side of the main page, an active graphic of the GbE Interconnect Switch displays.

NOTE: Positioning the pointer on an RJ-45 connector or an LED displays the port number, and selecting an RJ-45 connector or an LED displays the port statistics.

Monitor the GbE Interconnect Switch status by using the following tools:

Graphical LEDs display current link speed and activity of ports 1X through 24X.

On Switch A, LEDs labeled 1X, 3X, 5X,…15X (odd numbers) represent NIC 1 (PXE capable) of server bays 1 through 8. LEDs labeled 2X, 4X, 6X,…16X (even numbers) represent NIC 2 of server bays 1 through 8.

On Switch B, LEDs labeled 1X, 3X, 5X,…15X (odd numbers) represent iLO of server bays 1 through 8. LEDs labeled 2X, 4X, 6X,…16X (even numbers) represent NIC 3 of server bays 1 through 8.

LEDs labeled 17X and 18X represent cross-connect ports.

LEDs labeled 19X and 20X represent the Fast Ethernet uplinks.

LEDs labeled 21X and 22X represent Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.

RJ-45 connectors labeled 23X and 24X represent front panel ports meant for debugging and monitoring the GbE Interconnect Switch.
