This chapter describes procedures used to confirm that the hardware and software installation and configuration procedures were successful. The following sections are included:
This section describes the LEDs used to confirm and troubleshoot operation of the Catalyst 5000 series modules. The LEDs on the supervisor engine module indicate the system power and processor status; LEDs on the switching modules indicate the status of the individual switching module and their interfaces.
The status LEDs on the supervisor engine module and switching modules go on to indicate that the modules are powered up. When on, they do not necessarily mean that the interface ports are functional or enabled. Additionally, although the LEDs for many interface types go on at the initial system startup, they do not indicate an accurate status until the interface is configured.
All status LEDs go on when the module receives power. The color of the LED indicates the actual status of the ports and modules. The following sections contain details about the meanings of each color.
The LEDs on the supervisor engine module indicate the system status; the system includes the fan assembly, power supply(ies), and supervisor engine module. The PS1 and PS2 LEDs on the supervisor engine module go on when the power supply is receiving AC source power and providing DC power to the internal system components. The power supply monitors its own temperature and internal voltages. For a description of the power supply shutdown conditions and threshold status levels, refer to the section "Environmental Monitoring and Reporting" in the chapter "Defining the Catalyst 5000 Series Switch."
The supervisor engine module LEDs are shown in Figure 9-1, Figure 9-2, and Figure 9-3 and described in Table 9-1.

The switch load-meter LEDs provide a visual indication (as an approximate percentage) of the current traffic load over the backplane. (See Figure 9-4.)

The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual 10BaseT Ethernet port connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-5 and described in Table 9-2.

The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual 10BaseT Ethernet port connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-6 and described in Table 9-3.

The LEDs provide status information for the module. The LED is shown in Figure 9-7 and described in Table 9-4.

The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-9 and described in Table 9-6.

The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual Fast Ethernet interface connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-9 and described in Table 9-6.

The LEDs on the faceplate of the Fast Ethernet switching module (100BaseFX 12 port), shown in Figure 9-10, are described in Table 9-7.

| LED | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | The switch performs a series of self-tests and diagnostic tests. If all the tests pass, the status LED is green. If a test other than an individual port test fails, the status LED is red. During system boot or if the module is disabled, the LED is orange. During self-test diagnostics, the LED is orange. If the module is disabled, the LED is orange. |
| Link | If the port is operational (a signal is detected), the LED is green. If the link has been disabled by software, the LED is orange. If the link is bad and has been disabled due to a hardware failure, the LED flashes orange. If no signal is detected, the LED is off. |
The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual ATM port connection. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-11 and described in Table 9-8.

| LED | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | The switch performs a series of self-tests and diagnostic tests. If all the tests pass, the status LED is green. If a test other than an individual port test fails, the status LED is red. During system boot or if the module is disabled, the LED is orange. During self-test diagnostics, the LED is orange. If the module is disabled, the LED is orange. |
| RX (Receive) | Whenever a port is receiving a packet, the receive (RX) LED is green for approximately 50 ms1; otherwise, it is off. |
| TX (Transmit) | Whenever a port is transmitting a packet, the transmit (TX) LED is green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off. |
| Link | The link LED displays the link integrity status of a LAN port. The link LED is green if the link integrity is good. The link LED will blink to indicate that a collision is detected on this link. |
The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual port connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-12 and described in Table 9-9.

| RX (Receive) | Whenever the port is receiving a cell, the receive (RX) LED is green for approximately 50 ms1; otherwise, it is off. |
| TX (Transmit) | Whenever the port is transmitting a cell, the transmit (TX) LED is green for approximately 50 ms; otherwise, it is off. |
| Link | The link LED displays the link integrity status of the ATM port. The link LED is green if the link integrity is good. The link LED will blink to indicate that a collision is detected on this link. |
The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual CDDI port connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-13 and described in Table 9-10.

The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual FDDI port connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-14 and described in Table 9-11.

The LEDs provide status information for the module and individual FDDI port connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-15 and described in Table 9-12.

Use the telnet command to start a Telnet connection to a remote host:
telnet host[port]
The syntax descriptions for each parameter are as follows
| host | The remote host to connect to. |
| port | A specific port on the remote host to connect to. |
Console> (enable) telnet help
Usage: telnet <host> [port]
(host is ipalias or IP address in dot notation: a.b.c.d)
Console> (enable) telnet elvis

Enter the ping command to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to another node on the network to confirm the connection to that node. Enter Ctrl-C to stop "pinging."
ping -s host [packet_size] [packet_count]
The syntax descriptions for each parameter are as follows:
| -s | Causes ping to send one datagram per second, printing one line of output for every response received. The ping command does not return any output when no response is received. |
| host | The IP address or IP alias of the host. |
| packet_size | (Optional) The number of bytes in a packet, from 1 to 2,000 bytes, with a default of 56 bytes. The actual packet size is eight bytes larger because the switch adds header information. |
| packet_count | (Optional) The number of packets to send. |
Following are sample results of the ping command:
In the following ping command example, a host with IP alias elvis is pinged a single time, then pinged once per second until Ctrl-C is entered to stop pinging:
Console> ping elvis elvis is alive Console> ping -s elvis ping elvis: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=0. time=11 ms 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=1. time=8 ms 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=2. time=8 ms 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=3. time=7 ms 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=4. time=11 ms 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=5. time=7 ms 64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=6. time=7 ms ^C ----elvis PING Statistics---- 7 packets transmitted, 7 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 7/8/11 Console>
