      If the Active LED is off for an extended period on your Brocade Communications Systems Network Router, first check the Link LED to ensure the link with the remote port is still active. If it isn't, follow the troubleshooting steps for the Link LED. Also, verify that the port hasn't been disabled via a configuration change using the CLI, Web management interface (if an IP address is configured), or Brocade Network Advisor.

      If the Link LED is off on your Brocade Communications Systems Network Router, ensure the connection to the other network device is properly made and that the other device is powered on. Verify that the transmit port on the router connects to the receive port on the other device, and vice versa; try reversing the cable connectors. Also, check for dust in the cable or port connectors. If the problem persists, try a different port or cable.
