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 to the Ethernet port” on page 187, 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.

becomes the active module during a switchover.
The switch fabric module status can be one of the following:
•
ACTIVE – The module is up and running.
•
BAD – The management module cannot initialize the switch fabric module.
An interface module status can be one of the following:
•
CARD_STATE_INIT – The system detects the module but the module is not up and running yet.
•
CARD_STATE_BOOT – The module is booting.
•
CARD_STATE_INTERACTIVE – The module is booting from interactive mode.
•
CARD_STATE_LP_SYNC – The software images are synchronized between the management module and interface module.
•
CARD_STATE_SYNC – The system is currently synchronizing the software image between the management module and
interface module.
•
CARD_STATE_SOFTWARE_LOADED – The module has loaded the software image.
