Introduction Hardware Features
• The Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver ports are described earlier in this section.
• Each SFP transceiver has associated with it a Port Status LED.
- If the Port is lit Green, a link is established with the port.
- If the Port is lit Yellow, there is activity on on the port.
• The Card Status LEDs are comprised of the following:
- The OnLine LED, when lit, indicates that the line card is online and is ready to receive, process,
and send packets if configured to do so.
- The OffLine LED, when lit, indicates that the line card is offline (powered off) and is ready for
hot swap.The OFF LED also is lit briefly during a reboot or reset of the RS and goes out as soon
as the line card is properly initialized.
