This chapter describes procedures for confirming the successful hardware installation of the route processor or interface module, and contains these sections:
The following sections describe the Catalyst 8540 CSR interface module LEDs.
Figure 3-1 shows the Catalyst 8540 CSR eight-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module LEDs. Table 3-1 describes them.
| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
STATUS | Green | The system has passed internal self-tests and diagnostic tests. |
Red | The system has failed internal self-tests and diagnostic tests. | |
Orange | The system is booting or a module is disabled. | |
(link) | Green | The Ethernet port is operational. |
Off | No signal is detected on the Ethernet port. |
Figure 3-2 shows the Catalyst 8540 CSR two-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module LEDs. Table 3-2 describes them.

| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
OPT-DET | On | When an optical signal from another Gigabit Ethernet module is detected, this LED is on. It is steadily on when there is a gigabit connection. |
TX (Transmit) | Green | When a port is transmitting a packet, this LED is green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off. |
FULL-DUPLEX | On | When the port is operating in full-duplex mode, this LED is on. This is always the case for an operational Gigabit Ethernet port. |
LINK | Green | The port is operational (a signal is detected). When no signal is detected, this LED is off. |
RX (Receive) | Green | When the port is receiving a packet, the LED is green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off. |
Figure 3-3 shows the Catalyst 8540 CSR 10/100BaseT interface module LEDs. Table 3-3 describes them.

| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
SP | Green | Port is operating at 100 Mbps. |
| Off | Port is operating at 10 Mbps. |
LK | Green | Port is operational (a signal is detected). |
| Off | No signal is detected. |
Figure 3-4 shows the Catalyst 8540 CSR 100BaseFX interface module LEDs. Table 3-4 describes these LEDs.

| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
TX (Transmit) | Green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off | Port is transmitting a packet. |
RX (Receive) | Green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off | Port is receiving a packet. |
LINK | Green | Port is operational (a signal is detected). |
| Off | No signal is detected. |
This section describes the LEDs used to confirm and troubleshoot the operation of the route processors and switch modules. The LEDs on the route processor indicate the status of the processor, the Flash PC Card slots, and the interface ports. Figure 3-5 shows the route processor LEDs. Table 3-5 describes them.

| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
STATUS | Green | The system has passed internal self-tests and diagnostic tests. |
| Red | The system has failed internal self-tests and diagnostic tests. |
| Orange | The system is booting or a module is disabled. |
ACTIVE | Green | The system is operating. |
| Red | The system is not operating. |
STANDBY | Green | The system is in standby mode. |
TX (Transmit) | Flashing green | Ethernet packets are being transmitted. The pulse rate increases with the data rate. |
RX (Receive) | Flashing green | Ethernet packets are being received. The pulse rate increases with the data rate. |
| Off | No signal is being received. |
LINK | Green | The Ethernet port is operational. |
| Off | No signal is detected on the Ethernet port. |
Figure 3-6 shows the switch module LEDs. Table 3-6 describes them.
| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
STATUS | Green | The system has passed internal self-tests and diagnostic tests. |
| Red | The system has failed internal self-tests and diagnostic tests. |
| Orange | The system is booting or a module is disabled. |
ACTIVE | Green | The system is operating. |
| Red | The system is not operating. |
STANDBY | Green | The system is in standby mode. |
When these conditions are met, the hardware installation is complete. If the startup sequence fails before these conditions are met, use the procedures in this chapter to isolate and, if possible, resolve the problem.
If you are unable to solve a problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance and further instructions. Before you call, gather the following information:
The flowchart in Figure 3-7 helps you determine which component might
have malfunctioned.

When you complete the troubleshooting procedures in this chapter, continue with these interface module troubleshooting steps:
