Aruba 6000 & 6100 Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide
Problem
A switch hardware failure
has occurred. All the LEDs
will stay on indefinitely.
The switch has experienced
a software failure during
self-test, or a hardware
component is having issues.
The network port for which
the LED is blinking has
experienced a self-test or
initialization failure.
The network connection is
not working properly.
Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the
switch may have failed. To get assistance, either call your
Aruba authorized network reseller, or use the electronic
support services from Aruba.
Check the switch Event Log for indication of the fault condition,
If a port failed self-test, contact Aruba support.
1. Try resetting the switch by pressing the Reset button on
the front of the switch, or by power cycling the switch.
2. If the fault indication reoccurs, attach a console to the
switch and configure it to operate at 115200 baud. Then,
reset the switch. Messages should appear on the console
screen and in the console log identifying the error
condition.
If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your Aruba
authorized network reseller, or use the electronic support
services from Aruba to get assistance.
Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the
switch port may have failed. Call your Aruba authorized
network reseller, or use the electronic support services from
Aruba to get assistance.
If the port is an SFP, verify it is one of the SFPs supported by the
switch. Unsupported SFPs will be identified with this fault
condition. The SFPs are also tested when they are "hot-
swapped" – installed or changed while the switch is powered
on.
To verify that the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling
the SFP without powering off the switch. If the port fault
indication reoccurs, you will have to replace the SFP. Check the
event log to see why the SFP failed.
Try the following procedures:
For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the
n
switch and the connected device, are connected properly.
Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on
n
and operating correctly.
Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the
n
connection:
For twisted-pair connections to the fixed 10/100/1000
o
ports, if the port is configured to "Auto" (auto negotiate),
either straight-through or crossover cables can be used
because of the switch "Auto-MDIX" feature and the Auto
MDI/MDI-X feature of the 10/100/1000-T port.
