7.5 Troubleshooting Tools
7.5.1 Troubleshooting Tools Available
The tools available for troubleshooting on the switch are:
7.5.1.1 The LED Indicators
These are located on the front panel of the switch. The LEDs indicate the overall switch status,
and the status of each of the switch’s ports and backplane segments (where applicable). See
earlier in this manual for a full description of the LEDs and their use.
7.5.1.2 SNMP
SNMP management in the switch is based on standard Management Information Base
(MIB) II and Private Enterprise MIB extensions.
You can configure the switch to send SNMP Traps to defined locations, thus allowing the pos-
sibility of performing limited troubleshooting from an SNMP Management Center.
7.5.1.3 FORE Stack View
FORE Stack View offers several features that can help your troubleshooting. These include:
• Diagnostic messages
• A log of system events
• A log of errors
• A list of SNMP traps.
