QFX5230-64CD Port and Management Panel

date_range 29-Dec-23

QFX5230-64CD Port Panel

Overview

The QFX5230-64CD's port panel is made up of the management panel and 64 high-density 400-Gigabit Ethernet quad small form-factor pluggable (QSF-DD) ports. Each port has the option to be configured for 400G, 200G, 100G, 50G, 40G, 4x25G, or 4x10G speeds. It has two SFP+ ports as well. Its design aims to minimise power consumption and latency.

The typical configuration for QFX5230-64CD) is shown below:

  1. 48x 400G QSFP56-DD ports + 16x 400G-ZR/ZR-M QDD ports
  2. 2 x 10G SFP+ ports
  3. 1 x 10M/100M/1G RJ45 Management port
  4. 1 x RJ45 Console port
  5. 1x USB 2.0
  6. 10MHz & 1PPS SMB output

Note:

The 16 ports marked in green, from 33 through 63, denote the ports that support 400G-ZR and 400G-ZRM QDD optics. If these optics are plugged into other ports, they don't function and the system triggers an alarm.

QFX5230-64CD Network LEDs

To show link status, activity on the link, or a fault condition, each QSFP56-DD network port has a single bi-colored LED. In an unchannelized port, the port link status is shown by the LED on the left.

LEDs that indicate status and channelization
 
Note:

The ports that are marked in green indicate support for 400G-ZR and 400G-ZRM optics.

Each port has an individual status LED on the left. The port status LED has four states signaled by the color/LED state: Off, Green, Amber, and Red.

QFX5230-64CD Management Panel and LEDs

The management panel allows you to have a management channel into the switch that is separate from production traffic. The management panel of the QFX5230-64CD is located to the right of the network ports.

You can find the following LEDs on the management panel:

  • Chassis status LEDs

  • RJ-45 Console and Management Port LEDs

The following sections explain how to interpret these LEDs.

QFX5230-64CD Chassis Status LEDs

QFX5230-64CD has three LEDs that indicate system status. You can find these LEDs on the right of the SFP+ ports.

Table 2 describes the chassis status LEDs on a QFX5230-64CD, the colors and states, and the status they indicate.

Table 2: Chassis Status LEDs on a QFX5230-64CD Devices
Name Color State Description
ALM–Alarm Unlit Off The switch is halted or there is no alarm.
Red On steadily A major system or hardware fault has occurred, such as a temperature alarm, power failure, or media failure. The device has halted. Power off the device by setting the AC power source outlet to the OFF (O) position, or by unplugging the AC power cords. Correct any voltage or site temperature issues, and allow the switch to cool down. Power on the QFX5230-64CD. Monitor the power supply and fan LEDs to help determine where the error is occurring.
Yellow On steadily A minor system level alarm has occurred, such as a software error or a missing rescue configuration. Power off the device by setting the AC power source outlet to the OFF (O) position, or by unplugging the AC power cords. Power on the QFX5230-64CD and monitor the status LEDs to ensure that Junos OS Evolved boots properly.
Amber (Red and Yellow) Blinking A major and minor system level alarm has occurred, and requires immediate action.
SYS–System Unlit Off The device is powered off or halted.
Green Blinking Junos OS Evolved software is getting loaded on the device. This LED is also activated when the system shutdown is in progress.
Green On steadily Junos OS Evolved software is loaded on the device and system is operational.
ID–Identification Unlit Off The beacon feature is not enabled on the switch. Enable this feature by using the request chassis beacon fpc 0 on operational CLI command.
Blue Blinking The beacon feature is enabled on the switch. Disable this feature by using the request chassis beacon fpc 0 off operational CLI command.
Tip:

To find the status of the beacon, use the show chassis beacon operational CLI command.

user@host> show chassis beacon fpc 0
    FPC 0                OFF

You can view the colors of the three LEDs remotely through the CLI by issuing the operational mode command show chassis led.
