Ports and Indicators

Management ports and indicators

The right hand side of the front panel of the Cisco Nexus 3550-F Fusion (formerly ExaLINK Fusion) includes a number of indicators and connectors for the management of the device. Refer to the image below for details on the connectors and indicators.

  • Fan Status will be GREEN if both fan modules are operating correctly, and RED if a fault is detected in one or more fan modules.
  • System Status will be RED if the management software experiences an error, GREEN otherwise
  • The Time Sync LED will flash once per second in green if time sync is enabled and operational, otherwise the LED will flash orange or remain off.
  • Power Supply Status will be GREEN if both power supply modules are operating correctly, and RED if a fault is detected in one or more power supply modules.

Note

Note that if all four management status indicators remain ORANGE on Nexus 3550-F power up, it is most likely that the Nexus 3550-F was prevented from booting normally.

Check the management serial connection and ensure data is not being inadvertently sent to the Nexus 3550-F console port, which can interrupt the Nexus 3550-F's boot process.

Line card port indicators

Each SFP+ port on a line card has two LEDs that convey port status and configuration.
