Verifying proper operation
If a problem persists after taking action described in this table, contact technical support.
Displaying the module status
After you have attached a PC or terminal to the console port or Ethernet port on the management module and the router has initialized
successfully, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window.
Brocade>
If you do not see this prompt, check the following items.
1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC or terminal and the console port or Ethernet port.
2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed in “Attaching a PC or terminal to
the console port or the Ethernet port” on page 120, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port
you attached to the console port.
When you see this prompt (Brocade
>
), you are connected to the system and can display the status of the modules using the CLI. Enter
the show module command at any CLI level.

show module
The Status column shows the module status. The management module status can be one of the following:
•
ACTIVE – The module is currently the active management module.
•
STANDBY – The module is currently the standby management module.
Fan control module (two LEDs on rear panel of router)
Unlabeled Green (steady) The fans are
working and
responding to
controls from the
fan control module.
Off or
amber
The fans are not receiving power (off), or the fans are not working
and not responding to controls from the fan control module
(amber). Check the following:
•
If the LED is off, check the power LED on the other modules
to make sure they are receiving power. If you are using a DC
power source, check your power source for problems.
•
If you are using AC power supplies, take the actions
described in the Meaning or Action column for the AC power
supply LED. If these actions do not resolve the problem,
check the LED on each power supply or enter the
show
chassis
command at any CLI prompt to determine if a
power supply has failed. If a power supply has failed, you
must replace it.
•
If the LED is amber, you must replace the fan module.
