Router LED Locations and States

View the Cisco 1120 Connected Grid Router LEDs to determine the overall state of the system and to verify the status of specific connections, ports, and system components.

In addition to viewing the LEDs on the router hardware, you can use the router command line interface as described in Related Commands to check the system status LED state from remote locations.

Related Commands

blank.gifshow led

show led

To view the status of the router SYS LED, use the show led command in privileged EXEC mode. The SYS LED is located on the router exterior (see Figure 1),

During normal operation, the router can be installed in a substation, utility box, or other hard-to-access location, and you might not be able to view SYS LED. In this case, you can view the status of the LED from a remote location using the show LED command.

The values displayed in the System LED field are described in SYS LED—System Status.

This example shows the command output:

CGR1120> show led
 
System LED: green, solid
