Determining Whether an Application Card has Failed
The system has several ways to indicate an application card failure. The first indicator is that the Status LED on the
System Management Card (SMC) turns red to indicate the failure of a chassis component. Another indicator is the
Run/Fail LED on an application card is red or turns off if that card has a problem.
If you see either of these indicators, you can determine the nature of the problem via the CLI or by checking the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps.
Using the CLI
Monitor application cards in the chassis by executing the following CLI commands in Exec mode:
show card diag slot_#
slot_# is the chassis slot number in which the particular card that you wish to monitor is installed. For application cards,
slot_# is any integer between 1 and 16. The following is a sample output for this command to monitor the card in
chassis slot 8:
Card 8:
Card Usable : Yes
Card Tests : Pass
Boot Mode : Normal
show card info slot_#
The following is a sample output for this command issued to monitor the card in chassis slot 8:

If any of this information appears to be erroneous, such as the operational state or an LED state, check for any of the
SNMP alarms listed in Using SNMP Traps.
