Confirming normal operation of the switch by reading LEDs

This task describes using the switch LEDs to confirm that the switch is operating normally.

Procedure
  1. Quick check: Verify that the chassis has power and there are no fault conditions.

    On the front of the switch, verify that the states of the following LEDs are On Green:

    • Power

    • Health

  2. Verify that the Health LEDs of all installed line modules are On Green.
  3. Verify that the Health LEDs of all installed management modules are On Green.
  4. Verify that the network ports are operating normally.
    1. On the active management module, check the Status Front section. Verify that each LED that indicates a line module is in one of the following states:
      • On Green (normal operation)

      • Off (no line module installed)

    2. On each line module, verify that each port LED is in one of the following states:
      • On Green, Half-Bright Green, or Flickering Green (normal operation)

      • Off (no cable connected or port off by default in config)

  5. Verify that the power supplies are operating normally.
    1. On the active management module, check the Status Front section. Verify that each LED that indicates a power supply is in one of the following states:
      • On Green (normal operation)

      • Off (no power supply installed)

    2. On each power supply, verify that LEDs are in the following states:
      • Power LED: On Green

      • Fault LED: Off

  6. Verify that the rear components are operating normally by checking the Status Rear section of the active management module:
    1. Verify that the LEDs for the fabric modules are in one of the following states:
      • On Green (normal operation)

      • Off (component not installed)

    2. Verify that the LEDs for the fan trays and fans are On Green.
  7. Verify that the standby management module is ready to take over as the active management module.

    On the standby management module, verify the states of the following LEDs:

    • Health LED is On Green.

    • Management state standby (Stby) LED is On Green.
