CN-Series Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide Network Interface Monitoring
Each 10GbE interface has two LEDs, the link LED (top) and the activity LED (bottom) with the following
colors and patterns:
• Neither LED is lit—No network connection.
• Activity (bottom) green and flashing—Sending or receiving network data.
• Link (top) green—Connected to the network.
Each 1GbE interface has link (left) and activity (right) LEDs with the following colors and patterns:
• Neither LED is lit—No network connection.
• Link (left) green—Connected to the network at maximum port speed.
• Link (left) amber—Connected to the network at less than maximum port speed.
• Activity (right) green and flashing—Sending or receiving network data.
Viewing Network Interface Status in the vSphere Client
You can use your vSphere Client to view the status of the network interface cards (NIC) in a CN-Series
system to ensure that the interfaces are operational.
To view network interface status:
1. In your vSphere Client, expand the datacenter that contains the CN-Series system.
2. Select the CN-Series system.
3. Select the Hardware Status tab.
4. Expand Network to display the network interfaces.
