Introduction Hardware Features
Non-MPLS Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Line Card
Figure 2-13 shows the front panels of the 2-port non-MPLS activated Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) line cards.
The G3M-GBCFM-02 is used with the RS 3000, RS 3100, RS 3200, RS 1000 and RS 1100switch routers.
Figure 2-13 Gigabit GBIC line cards with one GBIC installed
Offline When lit, this amber LED indicates that the line card is offline (powered off) and is ready for
hot swap.
The Offline LED also is lit briefly during a reboot or reset of the RS and goes out as soon as
the Control Module discovers and properly initializes the line card.
Per-GBIC RX Green – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver receives packets
Amber – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver receives flow-control packets
Per-GBIC TX Green – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver transmits packets
Amber – indicates when the GBIC’s transceiver transmits flow-control packets
Per-GBIC AN Green – indicates that the port hardware has auto negotiated the operating mode of the link
between full-duplex and half-duplex.
Orange (intermittent) – indicates that auto negotiation is in process.
Orange (solid) – indicates a problem with auto negotiation configuration.
Red – indicates an auto negotiation failure. This fault may occur if the link partner does not
support full duplex.
Off – indicates that auto negotiation has been disabled or the link is down.
Per-GBIC LINK Green – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into the port and a good link
is established.
Red (intermittent) – indicates that port hardware received an error during operation.
Red (solid) – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into the port, however, a
bad link is established.
Off – indicates that no link from the port exists.
