This chapter describes the LEDs used to confirm and troubleshoot operation of the route processor, switch processors, and interface modules and includes the following sections:
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:
When you have completed the troubleshooting procedures in this chapter, continue with the following interface module troubleshooting steps:
The flowchart in Figure 4-1 helps you determine which component might
have malfunctioned.

This section describes the LEDs used to confirm and troubleshoot the operation of the route processor and switch processors. The LEDs on the route processor indicate the status of the processor, the Flash PC Card slots, and the interface ports. Figure 4-2 shows the route processor LEDs. Table 4-1 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. |
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 4-3 shows the switch processor LEDs. Table 4-2 describes them.
