HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Troubleshooting
➌
A module was
installed in the slot
that is a different
type than the
previously installed
module, and the
switch has not yet
been reset. When you “hot swap” modules in the switch slot, if you install a different
module type than the one that was previously installed in the slot, you
must reset the switch so the switch processor can properly initialize and
configure the new module type. The blinking LED informs you that this
change of module types has occurred. The module will not work properly
until the switch is reset, as indicated by all the module’s LEDs staying on
until the switch is reset.
See “Resetting the Switch” on
page 25
.
➍
The network port for
which the Link LED
is blinking has
experienced a self
test or initialization
failure. During the module self test (described in item 1 above), each network
port is also tested. If the port self test fails, the individual port is not usable,
but the rest of the ports on the module, which have passed their self test,
will continue to operate normally.
If the error has occurred on a mini-GBIC that you have installed in the
mini-GBIC xl Module, make sure that it is one of the supported mini-
GBICs. The HP ProCurve mini-GBICs that are supported, as of the printing
of this manual, are listed on
page 1
. Use only the supported HP ProCurve
mini-GBICs. If it is a supported mini-GBIC, it may have failed. Try
removing and reinstalling the mini-GBIC and it will be tested again. If the
fault indication reoccurs, the mini-GBIC is faulty and must be replaced.
If the error has occurred on a port that contains a known valid mini-GBIC
or on a
twisted-pair port or 100-FX port on one of the other modules,
try removing and reinstalling the module. If the port fault indication
reoccurs, and you need to be able to use the port, you will have to replace
the module. In the mean time, all the other ports on the module will
operate normally.
➎
The network port for
which the Link LED
is blinking has been
disabled because
port security has
been configured on
the switch and a
security violation
has been detected on
the port. For the Port Security feature, you can configure the switch so that
whenever a security violation is detected on a port, the switch will disable
the port. When a port is disabled by this feature, the port Link LED will
be continuously flashed at the fast rate of 0.8 seconds per cycle. The
blinking continues until you clear the security violation through the
switch console. In the console, you can view the identity of the connected
device that committed the security violation.
Once the security violation is cleared, you must re-enable the port through
the console.
For more information on the Port Security feature, see the
Management
and Configuration Guide
that is on the documentation CD-ROM that
came with your switch.
