Appendix C - Light Patterns and Test Switch Settings

BR Router Light Patterns

The BR Router uses a number of light patterns on its front LED bar to indicate operating conditions.

2 & 9 on steady: Router is powered on.

vNote: Lights 1 and 10 are directly connected to the router’s 10BaseT interface and indicate 10BaseT link (1) and 10BaseT polarity (10).

Traffic Indicators

Scan from 2 to 5: Ethernet receive packet

Scan from 5 to 2: Ethernet transmit packet

Scan from 6 to 9: WAN receive packet

Scan from 9 to 6: WAN transmit packet

Other Indicators

5 & 6 on steady: Flash ROM checksum in progress

5 & 6 flashing: Router stacks starting up

2,3,4 & 7,8,9 flashing: Running from ROM

2,3,4 & 7,8,9 on solid: Erasing Flash ROM

2,3 & 8,9 on solid: Writing Flash ROM

4 & 7 on solid: Compressing Flash ROM image

Level 1 Panic Indicators

Any continuous flashing pattern not noted above may be caused by a software “panic.” This is a sign that a condition has been detected that the software does not know how to deal with: either an unusual network condition, or a hardware failure.

vNote: Level 1 panics are very unusual. These are not the same as Level 2 panics, which cause the router to save the reason for the panic and restart. The existence of a Level 2 panic signature will be reported by RouterView or the command line.
