Introduction Hardware Overview
Link Amber – Wrap mode with local signal fail condition or last IPS packet
received was short path with signal fail request.
Green, blinking – Normal or Wrap mode with local signal degrade
condition (even if overridden) or last IPS packet received was short path
with signal degrade request.
Green, solid – Normal or Wrap mode other than above, IPS running.
Off – Pass-through mode or IPS not running.
Side A Green, solid – card correctly configured as side A
Off – card correctly configured as side B
Amber, solid – mate bridge present, but no
srp hw-module
command
obeyed
Amber, blinking – side configuration incompatible with mate bridge
position (e.g. mate bridge connects slots 3 and 5 and user entered
srp
hw-module base-slot 5 config dual-srp
)
Rx This LED is intended to show receive activity to the line card. Any
packet (except Usage and IPS packets) received by the MAC will cause
the LED to blink. Transit traffic will not cause the LED to flash.
Sync This LED indicates that the two SRP line cards have synchronized
across the mate bridge.
Green, solid – Synchronization has been achieved.
Amber, blinking – Synchronization has been lost.
State/Alarm Amber, blinking – RALRM or SALRM alarms are coming from the
framer.
Green, solid – No alarm and the laser signal-detect is asserted.
Pass This LED indicates that the SRP node (the pair of line cards) is in
pass-through mode.
This LED is normally off, but when the node drops to pass-through, the
LED will go on/Amber
