Figure 2-2: Test Switch


For normal operation, keep the switch set to 0 on all modules. If you are having trouble starting up or downloading software, see the Cisco VPN 5002 and 5008 Software Configuration Guide for information about using the switch to erase and load software.

LEDs

The following sections describe the green Tx/Rx, Load, Over Temp, and Sys Ready LEDs.

Special States for Tx/Rx and Load LEDs

The Tx/Rx and Load LEDs light green concurrently to indicate special states. The startup LED sequence consists of a fast, complex sequence of Tx/Rx and Load LEDs. The following table describes the recognizable LED states that occur after startup:

Normal Operation for Tx/Rx LEDs

The Tx/Rx LEDs light green to indicate the direction of traffic on the interface.

Normal Operation for Load LEDs

The Load LEDs light green to indicate the percentage of the maximum number of VPN connections currently being used. For example, if the maximum VPN connections is 5000 and the number of active connections is 250, the 20 LED lights green to indicate up to a 20% load. To make the 20 and 40 LEDs light, the load must be between 20% and 40%: 1000 to 2000 users.

20, 40, 60, and 80

Between 60% and 80% of VPN connections used

20, 40, 60, 80, and 100

Between 80% and 100% of VPN connections used

Slow strobe from left to right, continuing from the Tx/Rx LEDs

Idle

Over Temp LED

The Over Temp LED lights green when the module is overheating. See "Troubleshooting a High Temperature Condition."

Sys Ready LED

The Sys Ready LED lights green after the system boots and is in normal operation.
