Verify communication between switch and HAFM appliance
Communication must be verified between the switch and the HAFM appliance Element Manager 
and EWS applications. 
To verify switch-to-appliance communication:
1. At the HAFM application main window (physical map or product list), inspect the shape and 
color of the status symbol associated with the Edge Switch product icon. Table 3 explains the 
symbols and associated operational states.
Table 3 Switch operational states and symbols
Operational State Symbol
Operational—Switch-to appliance communication is established, the 
switch is operational, and no failures are indicated. 
Go to ”Set switch date and time” on page 42.
Degraded—Switch-to-appliance communication is established, but the 
switch is operating in degraded mode and requires service. This 
condition is typical if a port or redundant FRU fails. 
Go to step 2.
