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.
