Table 2. X-Pedition 8600 Switching Fabric module LEDs

LED

Condition

Description

Offline

Amber

The module is offline (powered off) and is ready for hot swap.

 

 

The Offline LED also lights briefly during a reboot or reset of the X-Pedition and

 

 

goes out as soon as the control module discovers and properly initializes the

 

 

switching fabric module.

 

 

 

Online

Green

The module is online and is ready to receive, process, and send packets if

 

 

configured to do so.

 

 

 

Active

On

The switching fabric module is actively receiving, processing, and sending

 

 

packets.

Note: When using line cards introduced prior to the “AA” series, SNA/DLC/NetBIOS traffic may not bridge properly. The issue in bridging DLC packets occurs where the length field within an IEEE 802.3 frame indicates less than 46 bytes of data.

The X-Pedition removes the length field information of incoming IEEE 802.3, 802.2, and Ethernet SNAP packets, then recalculates the field prior to re-transmission. Consequently, the calculation is based on the length of the entire data field. A packet entering the X-Pedition whose length field indicates a data field of less than 46 bytes will exit with the length field recalculated incorrectly. This can be a problem with LLC2 and legacy IPX applications. Typically, such packets exist only in SNA and NetBIOS/NetBEUI environments.
