LED Description
Offline When lit, this amber LED on the left side of the line card indicates that
the line card is offline (powered off) but is ready for hot swap.
The Offline LED also is lit briefly during a reboot or reset of the RS
but goes out as soon as the Control Module discovers the line card.
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.
Per-port Link Green – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into
the port and a good link is established
Red (intermittent) – indicates that the port received an error during
operation
Red (solid) – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged
into the port, however, a bad link is established
Off – indicates that no link from the port exists
Per-port Rx Green – indicates when the port’s transceiver receives packets
Red – indicates when the port’s transceiver receives flow-control
packets
Per-port Tx Green – indicates when the port’s transceiver transmits packets
Red – indicates when the port’s transceiver transmits flow-control
packets
