STATUS

Off

Fan tray is not getting any power.

Green

All fans are running and the fan tray is operating normally.

Amber

One fan is not running.

Red

Two or more fans are not running.

LOCATE

Blue

Identifies the fan tray receiving the beacon signal.

The fan tray assembly has two blue beacon LEDs, one on the front panel and one on the rear. The two will always match each other.

The blue beacon LED on the front panel is also a switch that you can press, to turn the front and rear blue beacons on or off. Alternatively, you can turn the blue beacons on or off through software.

Solid Green

Indicates that the power supply module is switched on with outputs 12V main and 12Vstandby available and in regulation.

Solid Amber

Indicates one of the following:

• No output power available

• AC/DC input is below the operating range

• No 12V standby from a parallel unit is available

• Over voltage/over current/over temperature conditions

• Over-temperature protection (OTP) due to fan failure

1Hz Blinking Amber

Indicates warning events such as a power supply module that continues to operate in high temperature or high power and a fan that runs slow and so on.

2Hz Blinking Green

Indicates that power switch is turned off with AC/DC input power available or that the power supply is in standby mode.

1Hz Blinking Green

Indicates bootloading mode.

Off

Indicates one of the following:

• No input or output power available

• AC/DC input is below the operating range

• No 12V standby from a parallel unit

STATUS

Green

Indicates that all diagnostic tests have passed after image booting.

Amber

Indicates a major environmental warning.

Red

Indicates a fault in the module due to parity error or failed diagnostic tests or hardware failure.

Off

Indicates that the supervisor module is disabled or is not powered up.

BLUE BEACON

Solid blue

Identifies the supervisor module receiving the beacon signal.

SYSTEM

Green

Indicates that the environmental monitors are normal.

Amber

Indicates a minor fault such as partial power supply or fan failure.

Red

Indicates a major fault. For example, situations where the temperature of the supervisor module exceeds the critical threshold.

ACTIVE

Green

Indicates that the supervisor module is operational and is functioning as the active supervisor (in redundant supervisor module configurations).

Amber

Indicates one of the following:

• ROMMON mode

• Supervisor module is functioning as the standby supervisor (in redundant supervisor module configurations)

Blinking Amber

Indicates Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR) of the module.

Blue Beacon

Blue

Indicates that the module requires attention. Provisioned by the administrator of the system.

Off

Indicates that the module does not need any attention.

Slow Blinking Blue

Indicates that the module requires attention. Configured by the user The LED blinks at a rate of 1.2 seconds.

Fast Blinking Blue

Indicates that the module requires attention. The LED blinks at a rate of 0.6 seconds.

From Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.x, the blue beacon LED on C9600X-LC-32CD and C9600-LC-40YL4CD can be configured to blink at slow, fast or steady (no blink) rates, which can be used to identify devices that need to be serviced. For example, if you have to make changes to the three Field Replaceable Units (FRU) in the system, you can configure the FRUs to use the beacon LED at three different blinking rates. This helps you to identify the FRU that is undergoing a change. Also, you can configure the beacon LED to use across multiple chassis.

Status LED

Off

Indicates that the module is disabled or is not powered up.

Green

Indicates that all diagnostic tests have passed and the module is operational.

Red

Indicates major environmental alarms, if the module is online.

Amber

Indicates minor environmental alarms, if the module is online.

Port LED

Green

Port link is up.

Amber

Port link is disabled, that is, administratively down.

Off

No signal is detected, the link is down, or the port is not connected.

Alternating Green and Amber

Indicates port beacon.

Blinking Amber

Indicates link faults such as excessive collision, CRC errors and Jabber errors.

Blinking green

Indicates traffic on the port.

Traffic Utilization

Blinking Rate

Nil

Between 5% and 30%

At a rate of 1.2 seconds.

Between 30% and 70%

At a rate of 0.4 seconds.
