Troubleshooting
The front-panel LEDs provide troubleshooting information about the switch.
They show power-on self-test (POST) failures, port-connectivity problems, and
overall switch performance. For a full description of the LEDs, see the
section on page
You can also get statistics from the browser interface, the command-line interface
(CLI), the Cisco Intelligence Engine 2100 (IE2100) Series Configuration
Registrar, or a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) workstation. See
the switch software configuration guide, the switch command reference, or the
documentation that came with your IE2100 or SNMP application for details.
