Switch fabric modules
Brocade MLXe Series
The following table note is added to the “blinking” state of the switch fabric module LED in the
Product Overview chapter of the Brocade MLXe Series Hardware Installation Guide.
TABLE 1 Switch fabric module LEDs
LED Position State Meaning
Pwr Above Active LED On The module is receiving power.
Off The module is not receiving power.
Active Below Pwr LED On
(4-, 8-, and 16-slot
routers only) The switch fabric is on (active) and ready to switch
user packets.
Blinking
(32-slot routers only) The switch fabric is on (active) and being accessed by
the Management Module CPU. This indicates normal
operation.
NOTE: On devices supporting software version
R05.3.00 and earlier, when you insert an SFM
or during powering on the device, the Active
LED was off for a short duration, up to 15
seconds because the monitoring of the Fabric
module is stopped for this duration. After this
delay, the LED indicated the monitoring status.
In version R05.4.00 and later, the Active LED
reads the switch fabric continuously even
during module insertion or powering on the
device, and thus the Active LED blinks.
Off for extended
period The switch fabric is not active and cannot switch user
packets.
