NFX250 Chassis

The front panel of an NFX250 device consists of the following components:

• Eight 1-Gigabit Ethernet network ports

• Two 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 network/uplink ports

• Two 1-Gigabit SFP network/uplink ports

• Two 1/10-Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports

• SFP and SFP+ ports Link and Status LEDs

• 1 Mini-USB Type-B Console Port

• 1 RJ-45 Console port

• 1 USB port

• 1-Gigabit Management port

• 4 System Status LEDs

• 3 Port Parameter LEDs

• 1 Mode Button

The rear panel of the NFX250 device consists of the following components (see Figure 2):

• Ground area

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) point

• Exhaust vents

• Power switch

• AC power cord inlet

The front panel of an NFX250 device has chassis status LEDs (labeled ALM, SYS, MST and PH) , next to the MGMT port (see Figure 3).

2 — Port parameter LEDs (SPD, DX, and EN)

Table 1 describes the chassis status LEDs in NFX250 Device, their colors and states, and the status they indicate. You can view the colors of the four LEDs remotely through the CLI by issuing the operational mode command show chassis led.

A major alarm (red) indicates a critical error condition that requires immediate action.

A minor alarm (amber) indicates a noncritical condition that requires monitoring or maintenance. A minor alarm left unchecked might cause interruption in service or performance degradation.

All four LEDs can be lit simultaneously.

Each network port and uplink port on the front panel of an NFX250 has two LEDs that indicate link activity and port status (see Figure 4).

Figure 4: LEDs on the Network Port

Table 2 describes the Link/Activity LED.

Figure 5 shows the LEDs that indicate the status of one of the three port parameters—speed, duplex mode, and administrative status. Use the Mode button on the far right side of the front panel to toggle the Status LED to show the different port parameters. You can tell which port parameter (speed, duplex mode, or administrative status) is indicated by the Status LED by looking at which port status mode LED (SPD, DX, or EN) is lit.

Table 3 describes the Status LED.

You can tell which port parameter is indicated by the Status LED on network ports by issuing the operational mode command show chassis led.

The management port on the front panel of an NFX250 device has two LEDs that indicate link activity and port status (see Figure 6).
