Verifying the Installation

This section describes how to verify the MLC and MPA installation by observing the MLC LED states,
the MPA LED states, and the information displayed on the console terminal.
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the MLC STATUS LED should be green (on) and the
MPA STATUS LEDs should be green (on). The port LEDs (C/A and A/L) may be green (on), depending
on your connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as the system
discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as a MLC with a MPA was removed
from module slot 4 in the router. In this example, interface 0 (interface 4/0/0) on the MPA was up and
active when the MLC was removed from the router. Note that the system logs that the MLC was removed
from slot 4 and that interface 4/0/0 is changed to down.

removed
When you reinsert the MLC with the installed MPA, the system automatically brings up the interface
that was changed to down when the MLC was removed.

As a MLC is initialized, the STATUS LED will first be amber, indicating that power is on, but the
MLC is being configured. When the MLC is active, the STATUS LED will illuminate green.
Modular port adapters (MPAs) will follow the same sequence after the MLC has completed its
initialization. The MPA STATUS LEDs will illuminate amber, turning to green when the modular
port adapters (MPAs) become active.
