Logged-In LED

Figure 4-1. Logged-In LED

The Logged-In LED has three indications:

•Continuous illumination: A device is logged in to the port.

•Flashing once per second: A device is logging in to the port.

•Flashing twice per second: The port is down, offline, or an error has occurred.

If a Logged-In LED is flashing twice per second, review the event browser for alarm messages regarding the affected port. You can also inspect the alarm log using the Show Alarm command. If there is an error, alarm messages may point to one or more of the following conditions:

•E_Port Isolation

•Excessive Port Errors

E_Port Isolation

ALogged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. An isolated E_Port is indicated by a red link in the McDATA Embedded Web Server topology display. E_Port isolation can be caused by the following:

•Security failure

•FL_Port is connected to another switch

•Conflicting domain IDs

•Conflicting timeout values

•Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets

Refer to the McDATA Switch Module Management Guide for information about how to change domain IDs, timeout values, and edit zoning.
