Verify Communication Between Switch and HAFM appliance
Communication must be verified between the switch and the HAFM appliance
Element Manager and EWS applications.
To verify switch-to-appliance communication:
1. At the HAFM application main window (physical map or product list),
inspect the shape and color of the status symbol associated with the Edge
Switch product icon.
Table 3 explains the symbols and associated operational
states.
2. Right-click the switch icon at the HAFM application’s physical map. A
pop-up menu appears.
3. Select the Element Manager option from the pop-up menu. When the
Element Manager application opens, the last view (tab) accessed by a user
opens by default. The example in
Figure 15 shows the Hardware View.
Table 3: Switch Operational States and Symbols
Operational State Symbol
Operational—switch-to appliance communication is established,
the switch is operational, and no failures are indicated. Go to “ Set
Switch Date and Time” on page 63 .
Degraded—s
witch-to-appliance communication is established, but
the switch is operating in degraded mode and requires service. This
condition is typical if a port or redundant FRU fails.
Go to step 2 .
Failed—switch-to appliance communication is established, but the
switch failed and requires immediate service. Go to step 2 .
Status Unknown—the switch status is unknown because of a
network communication failure between the switch and HAFM
appliance. Go to step 2 .
