Troubleshooting

4. In Table 15, locate the symptom that best describes the communication problem

and the LED pattern you observed. Then, go to the section that contains the
recommended actions for resolving the problem and follow that procedure.

Choosing a Troubleshooting Procedure

Use Table 15 to determine which troubleshooting procedure you should use. For a
description of the status LEDs and their meanings, see “Status and Activity LEDs”
on page 7.

Procedure A

Use this procedure if all of the LEDs are off:

1. Verify that the power cord is connected at both ends and that the power outlet is

working.

2. If the power cord is connected correctly, the outlet is working, and the problem

persists, the problem is in the switch. In that case, contact technical support.

Procedure B

Use this procedure if the ERR LED is on:

1. Verify that the boot code is at least release 2.3. If not, download the boot code

using either TFTP or serial download as described in Chapter 6, “Switch
Configuration”
.
