Checking Fiber Ports; Viewing Fiber Port Information - Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series Troubleshooting Manual

Troubleshooting hardware
Caution:
Risk of equipment damage
Incorrect FI cable insertion can cause physical damage to the VSP 7000 Series switch.
You must carefully align, insert, and verify each FI cable connection.
3. Verify that the FI cables are installed and routed correctly for your stack configuration (FI
down or FI up configuration).
For detailed information about FI cable installations and FI configurations, see Installing
Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series, NN47202–300.
Note:
You must always connect an FI-up port to an FI-down port, or an FI-down port to an FI-
up port between adjacent units. Each FI-down to FI-up connection requires a pair of FI-
cables. Do not cross the cables during installation. You must always connect the two FI
cables parallel with top-to-top, and bottom-to-bottom to correctly connect FI-ports, See
the following figure for a simplified FI cable diagram between two units.

Checking fiber ports

The following sections describe checking the Small Form factor Pluggable (SFP) and SFP+ fiber
ports and cable types.

Viewing fiber port information

Review the port information to ensure the port is enabled.
1. View the SFP or SFP+ port LED status.
2. Use the show interfaces <port> command to display the port information.
3. Note the port status.
