    Steady green

    A microSD card is inserted and available for use.

Do not remove the microSD card while flashing green, because the microSD card is being accessed.

3.3. Port LED

3.3.1. Indicator modes and switching between them

This product offers the following three display modes.

Mode name Switch by user Function Overview

LINK/ACT mode

Yes

The left LED of LAN/SFP ports indicates the link status and the right LED indicates the connection speed.

STATUS mode

No

Displays the error status of the LAN/SFP ports.

OFF mode

Yes

Switches off LAN/SFP port LEDs to minimize power consumption.

To switch the display mode, use the led-mode default command to set the default LED mode (the LED mode at system startup).
However, the STATUS mode is an automatic transition mode and cannot be switched manually by the user.
The flowchart of display mode transition is shown below.

  • Display mode transition
    image

*1: When the initial LED mode is LINK/ACT mode.
*2: When the initial LED mode is OFF mode.

The display mode after system startup and the display mode after error is resolved depend on the default LED mode setting.

If an error is detected by the following functions, the port LEDs automatically switch to the STATUS mode.

  • Loop detection

  • SFP optical reception level monitoring

The device will not transition from STATUS mode to LINK/ACT mode or OFF mode until all errors are resolved.

3.3.2. LED indications in LINK/ACT mode

In the LINK/ACT mode, port LEDs are illuminated as shown below.

  • LAN/SFP port link status

  • LAN/SFP port connection speed

The link status LED indications are shown below.

3.3.3. LED indications in STATUS mode

In STATUS mode, the port LEDs indicate the status of errors generated by the following product functions.

  • Loop detection

  • SFP optical reception level monitoring

The port LED display when an error occurs is outlined below.

  • Port LED indications in error status

    Normal state Loop detection or
    SFP optical Rx level abnormality

    (Left LED flashing orange)

When the product detects an error, it overrides the current mode and switches to STATUS mode.
The following conditions trigger an error in respective functions.

  • Loop detection

    • Loop was detected, so port was blocked

    • Loop was detected, so port was shut down

  • SFP optical reception level monitoring

    • SFP optical reception level fell below the normal range

    • SFP optical reception level exceeded the normal range

The cause of the error can be checked using the show error port-led command.

During active errors in the STATUS mode, LEDs will automatically switch to the default LED mode in the following states.

  • All of the following errors were resolved.

    • Blocked status due to loop detection is resolved.

    • Shutdown status due to loop detection is resolved.

      • The monitoring time elapsed after the shutdown due to loop detection.

      • The unit linked up after the no shutdown command was executed during shutdown due to loop detection.

    • SFP optical reception level recovered.

3.3.4. LED indication for OFF mode

If the default LED mode is the OFF mode, the port LEDs remain off regardless of the link status.
The stack ID display LED also turns off at the same time.
Even if the default LED mode is OFF, if an error occurs then the mode automatically switches to the STATUS mode and displays the error status.

3.3.5. Changing the LED mode after system startup

This product enables the LED mode after system startup (the default LED mode) to be changed.
The initial default LED mode is set to LINK/ACT mode, but it can be changed using the led-mode default command.

You can check the default LED mode and the currently displayed LED mode using the show led-mode command.

If an active error is resolved in the STATUS mode, the mode is switched back to the default LED mode.

3.3.6. Other port LED indications

Regardless of the LED mode status, all port LEDs will display as follows during startup initialization, firmware update, and while the "Find this switch" function is running.

3.4. Stack ID display LED

The stack ID display LED (7SEG LED) displays the stack ID in the stack configuration after the startup countdown is displayed.
If a stack is not configured, the number ‘1’ is displayed.
If an error occurs while a stack is configured, the letter ’E’ is displayed to indicate the error.

If the default LED mode is the OFF mode, the stack ID display LED is also switched off.
