Ports and Indicators

Management Ports and Indicators

The right hand side of the front panel of the Cisco Nexus 3550-F Fusion (formerly ExaLINK Fusion) includes a number of indicators and connectors for the management of the device. Refer to the image below for details on the connectors and indicators.

Management connectors and indicators for serial numbers EXAFSN-A-xxxxx

Management connectors and indicators for serial numbers EXAFSN-B-xxxxx and EXAFSN-C-xxxxx

• Fan Status will be GREEN if both fan modules are operating correctly, and RED if a fault is detected in one or more fan modules.
• System Status will be RED if the management software experiences an error, GREEN otherwise
• The Time Sync LED will flash once per second in green if time sync is enabled and operational, otherwise the LED will flash orange or remain off.
• Power Supply Status will be GREEN if both power supply modules are operating correctly, and RED if a fault is detected in one or more power supply modules.

NoteNote that if all four management status indicators remain ORANGE on Nexus 3550-F power up, it is most likely that the Nexus 3550-F was prevented from booting normally.

Check the management serial connection and ensure data is not being inadvertently sent to the Nexus 3550-F console port, which can interrupt the Nexus 3550-F's boot process.

Line Card Port Indicators

Each SFP+ port on a line card has two LEDs that convey port status and configuration.
