How the Switch Reports Problems
The switch detects and processes errors as follows:
" The LEDs indicate problems with the port and power.
Table 3-1 describes the switch LEDs.
" In a TCP/IP environment, if you have configured the software
correctly, the management software triggers an SNMP trap
message. As a result, the software then sends traps to alert the
network manager when a trigger occurs. This type of software
configuration allows the network administrator to pro-
actively monitor their network.
Table 3-1 lists and describes the switch LEDs.
