Proactive networking

The switches have built-in management capabilities that proactively help you manage your network, they
include:
Finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions (for example, faulty network
n
cabling, and nonstandard network topologies).
Informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages.
n
Recommending network configuration changes to enhance the performance of your network.
n
The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can be used to monitor the switch
and its network connections:
A graphical web browser interface that you can use to manage your switch from a PC running a
n
supported web browser, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox.
A full-featured easy-to-use console interface that you can access by connecting a standard terminal or PC
n
running a terminal emulator to the switch console port using an USB-C to USB-A cable (sold separately).
The console command-line interface is also accessible through a Telnet or SSH connection.

Hardware diagnostic tests

Testing the switch by resetting it

If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test its circuitry and operating
code. To reset a switch, try any of the following:

Problem
A redundant power supply has
experienced a fault.
The switch has overheated.
The port may have an internal
hardware failure. The port may
be denied PoE power. The port
may be detecting an external
PD fault.
A redundant power supply is
not connected to an active AC
power source.
Solution

At least one power supply must be operating properly.
To make sure that the power supply is plugged in to an
active power source, check the power supply. If the
power supply is operating but the LEDs are still
blinking, the power supply may have failed. Unplug the
power supply, wait for 5 seconds for residual charge to
dissipate, and then plug the power supply. If the fault
light is still blinking, replace the power supply.
Check to ensure that the fans are functioning correctly.
Check the port for a hardware failure. Doing so may
require a reboot of the switch. Check the port for
correct PoE configuration and allocation. Also check
the external PD for a fault.
(At least one power supply must be operating
properly.) Connect the unplugged power supply to an
AC power source, using a supported power cord for
your country/region.
