Table 2-31 Gigabit GBIC line card LEDs
LED Description
Online When lit, this green LED indicates that the line card is online and is ready to receive, process,
and send packets if configured to do so.
Offline When lit, this amber LED indicates that the line card is offline (powered off) and is ready for
hot swap.
The Offline LED also is lit briefly during a reboot or reset of the RS and goes out as soon as
the Control Module discovers and properly initializes the line card.
Per-GBIC RX Green – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver receives packets
Amber – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver receives flow-control packets
Per-GBIC TX Green – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver transmits packets
Amber – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver transmits flow-control packets
