Verifying Port Status
Check each connection by viewing the port indicator LEDs, as shown in the following figure and
table.
Verifying System Operation
Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the link status for
each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch, the Link indicator will light up for the
corresponding port. If the Link indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch,
check the following items:
• Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly attached to the connected device and the
switch.
• See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port and attached device that
displays valid indications when connected to the network.
• Be sure not to exceed the maximum length for the type and rating of fiber cable you are using.
Refer to the tables on the preceding page.
