Performing Port Diagnostics

Port diagnostics are performed at the switch and product manager application. These diagnostics include:

Inspecting port light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at the switch.

Obtaining port degradation or failure information at the product manager Hardware View.

Obtaining statistical performance information for ports at the product manager Performance View.

Performing internal or external port loopback tests.

Performing channel wrap tests. The tests apply only to a switch configured for S/390 operating mode.

Port LEDs

To obtain port operational information at the switch, inspect the port LEDs. Amber and green LEDs adjacent to each port indicate operational status as follows:

The green LED illuminates (or blinks if there is active traffic) and the amber LED extinguishes to indicate normal port operation.

The amber LED illuminates and the green LED extinguishes to indicate a port failure.

Both LEDs extinguish to indicate a port is operational but not communicating (no SFP installed, no cable attached, loss of light, port blocked, or link recovery in process).

The amber LED flashes and the green LED illuminates (or blinks if there is active traffic) to indicate beaconing is set for the port.

The amber LED flashes and the green LED extinguishes to indicate a port is running online diagnostics, or beaconing is set and the port is not communicating (no SFP installed, no cable attached, loss of light, port blocked, or link recovery in process).
