Front panel LEDs and connectors

From the FortiController-5208 front panel you can view the status of the board LEDs to verify that the board is functioning normally. LEDs also indicate connections and traffic for the front panel and backplane interfaces. You also connect the FortiController-5208 board to your network through the front panel XFP and SFP connections. The front panel also includes two RJ-45 serial console ports for connecting to the FortiController-5208 CLI and an Ethernet RJ-45 port for connecting to the CLI and GUI management interfaces over a network.

Green

The data LEDs display base backplane connections

 

 

 

of the FortiController-5208 board and the 5005

 

 

 

boards, over which the load-balanced traffic is sent.

 

 

 

LED 1 corresponds to the FortiController-5208

 

 

 

board’s connection, LEDs 3 through 14 are for

 

 

 

connections to the corresponding slots in a 5050 or

 

 

 

5140 chassis. LEDs 15 and 16 are for the HA ports

 

 

 

D15/D16 on the front panel. Due to the organization

 

 

 

of the backplane, LED 2 will always be off, even if

 

 

 

an operating FortiController-5208 is in slot 2.
