Monitoring the

Initialization

Processes

It takes a minimum of three minutes for the switches of the stack to
initialize their management software programs and features, perform the
discovery process, and load the configuration file. You may monitor the
processes by watching the LEDs on the front panel. Table 16 provides the
various phases of the entire initialization process and the approximate
time intervals the phases require. The time length of phase 5, loading the
configuration file, varies from a few seconds to four minutes, depending on
the number and complexity of the commands in the file. The Stack ID LED
acts differently depending on whether the unit is powered on or reset with
the RELOAD or RESET command.

The base port LEDs are on in phases 1 and 2 if they are connected to live
network devices. Otherwise, they are off. The 10/100/1000Base-T port
and SFP LEDs are on in phase 1 regardless of whether they are
connected to live network devices.
