  • Chassis status LEDs

  • RJ-45 management port LEDs

The following sections explain how to interpret these LEDs.

QFX5240 Chassis Status LEDs

The QFX5240 has three LEDs that indicate system status. You can find these LEDs to the left of the network ports (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).

Description

ALM–Alarm

Unlit

Off

The switch is halted, or there is no alarm.

Note:

The ALM LED glows green during BIOS booting.

Red

On steadily

A major 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 QFX5240. Monitor the power supply and fan LEDs to help determine where the error is occurring.

Amber

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 QFX5240, and monitor the status LEDs to ensure that Junos OS Evolved boots properly.

SYS–System

Unlit

Off

The device is powered off or halted.

Note:

The SYS LED glows green during BIOS booting.

Green

On steadily

Junos OS Evolved is loaded on the device.

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 mode command.

Note:

The ID LED glows green during BIOS booting.

Blue

Blinking

The beacon feature is enabled on the switch. Disable this feature by using the request chassis beacon fpc 0 off operational mode command.

Tip:

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