Alarm LEDs and Lamp Test Button

Two large alarm LEDs are located at the top of the craft interface. The circular red LED lights to indicate a critical condition that can result in a system shutdown. The triangular yellow LED lights to indicate a less severe condition that requires monitoring or maintenance. Both LEDs can be lit simultaneously. The button labeled LT (for “lamp test”), located to the left of the alarm LEDs, causes all LEDs on the craft interface to light when pressed and held; use it to test that LEDs are functional.

Table 4 describes the alarm LEDs and lamp test button in more detail.

Red

On steadily

Critical alarm LED—Indicates a critical condition

 

 

 

that can cause the router to stop functioning.

 

 

 

Possible causes include component removal,

 

 

 

failure, or overheating.

 

Yellow

On steadily

Warning alarm LED—Indicates a serious but

 

 

 

nonfatal error condition, such as a maintenance

 

 

 

alert or a significant increase in component

 

 

 

temperature.

— Lamp test button—Causes all LEDs on the craft interface to light (for testing purposes), when pressed and held.

Routing Engine Interface Ports and Status Indicators

Below the alarm LEDs on the craft interface are ports for connecting the Routing Engine to one or more external devices on which system administrators can issue JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) commands to manage the router (see Figure 7). The ports with the indicated label in each set function as follows:

MGMT—Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a management LAN (or any other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support both 10- and 100-Mbps connections.

To the left of the port is a link status indicator, which lights to show that a link has been established over the Ethernet connection. To the right of the port is an activity indicator, which flashes when data is being transferred.
