If you see this prompt (NetIron>), you are now connected to the system and can display the status of the modules
using the CLI. Enter the following command at any CLI level:
Syntax:
show module
The Status column shows the module status. A management module can have one of the following statuses:
•
ACTIVE – The module is currently the active management module.
•
STANDBY – The module is currently the standby management module.
•
COMING UP – The module is coming up as the standby module. This status occurs if the standby
management module becomes the active module, which is called a switchover.
The switch fabric module can have one of the following statuses:
•
ACTIVE – The module is up and running.
•
BAD – The management module cannot initialize the switch fabric module.
An interface module can have one of the following statuses:
•
CARD_STATE_INIT – The system detects the module but the module is not up and running yet.
•
CARD_STATE_BOOT – The module is booting.
•
CARD_STATE_INTERACTIVE – The module is booting from interactive mode.
•
CARD_STATE_LP_SYNC – The module’s IronWare images are synchronized between the management
module and interface module.
•
CARD_STATE_SYNC – The system is currently synchronizing the module’s IronWare images between the
management module and interface module.
•
CARD_STATE_SOFTWARE_LOADED – The module has loaded its IronWare image.
•
CARD_STATE_POWER_OFF – The module does not have power.
•
CARD_STATE_UP – The module is up and operating normally.
•
CARD_STATE_FAILED – The management module was unable to bring up an interface module properly. If
you observe this status, make certain that the interface module is installed properly. For more information,
see “Installing NetIron MLX-4 Modules” on page 3-7, “Installing NetIron MLX-8 Modules” on page 3-15,
“Installing NetIron MLX-16 Modules” on page 3-23, or “Installing NetIron MLX-32 Modules” on page 3-33.
•
CARD_DOWN_REASON_<explanation> – The module is in a nonfunctional state. This status appears with
an explanation for why the module is down, for example, "CARD_DOWN_REASON_BOOT_FAILED.” If the
explanation does not help you resolve the problem, you can contact Foundry Networks technical support and
provide the explanation included with this status.
