Verify communication between switch and HAFM appliance

Communication must be verified between the switch and the HAFM appliance Element Manager

and EWS applications.

To verify switch-to-appliance communication:

1. At the HAFM application main window (physical map or product list), inspect the shape and

color of the status symbol associated with the Edge Switch product icon. Table 3 explains the

symbols and associated operational states.

Table 3 Switch operational states and symbols

Operational State Symbol

Operational—Switch-to appliance communication is established, the

switch is operational, and no failures are indicated.

Go to ”Set switch date and time” on page 42.

Degraded—Switch-to-appliance communication is established, but the

switch is operating in degraded mode and requires service. This

condition is typical if a port or redundant FRU fails.

Go to step 2.
