QFX5250 Chassis LEDs

This topic describes the status LEDs for the chassis and ports on the QFX5250.

The LEDs on the QFX5250 switch indicate the status of the device and its components. You can also use the LEDs for troubleshooting.

Chassis Status LEDs

The QFX5250 switches have four LED types that indicate system status. You can find these LEDs to the right of the network ports.

QFX5250-64OE-L (liquid-cooled model)—You can view the colors of the LEDs remotely through the CLI by issuing the operational mode command show chassis led:

Table 2: Chassis Status LEDs on QFX5250
Indication Color State Description
ALM (Alarm) LED Unlit Off

The switch is halted, or there is no alarm.

Red On steadily

A major system level fault has occurred, such as a temperature alarm, power failure, or media failure. It may lead to a device shutdown.

Use the CLI commands show chassis alarms, show system alarms, and show system errors active detail to gather information about the error that triggered the alarm. This information helps you to decide the recovery steps to perform.

Yellow On steadily

A minor system level fault has occurred, such as a software error or a missing rescue configuration.

Use the CLI commands show chassis alarms, show system alarms, and show system errors active detail to gather information about the error that triggered the alarm. This information helps to decide the recovery steps to perform.

Red and Yellow Blinking

A major system level fault has occurred, along with a minor system level fault and the device has halted.

SYS (System) Unlit Off

The device is powered off or halted.

Note: The SYS LED glows green during BIOS booting.
Green Blinking

The system is loading Junos OS Evolved or shutting down.

Green On steadily Junos OS Evolved is loaded on the device.
ID (Identification) Unlit Off

The beacon feature is not enabled on the device. Enable this feature by using the request chassis beacon fpc 0 on operational mode command.

Blue Blinking

The beacon feature is enabled on the device. Disable this feature by using the request chassis beacon fpc 0 offoperational mode command.

Note: Port beacon is currently not supported on the QFX5250 switch.
Tip:

To know the status of the beacon, use the show chassis beacon operational mode command:

user@host> show chassis beacon
    OFF

Management Port LEDs

The RJ-45 management port on the QFX5250 switches have two LEDs that indicate link status and link activity. The management port is labeled MGMT.

LED Color State Description
Link activity

Green

Blinking

A link is established, and there is link activity.

Status Solid Green On steadily The port speed is 1 Gbps.
  Unlit Off The link is down.
  Unlit Off

The port speed is 10 Mbps.

Push Buttons on QFX5250

Table 4: Push Buttons on QFX5250
Button Name Functional Description
Reset (RST) Press the switch to reset the system.

Press and hold the switch for more than 250 milliseconds and less than 10 seconds to reset the system.

Press and hold the switch for more than 10 seconds to initiate BIOS recovery.

ON/OFF

When a leakage is detected, the QFX5250 liquid-cooled switch does not power-on until the power button is pressed.

Turn on or turn off the system power:

  • Power-down—Press and hold the power button for more than 4 seconds to initiate a power-down sequence.

  • Power-up—Press and hold the power button for more than 250 milliseconds to initiate a power-up sequence.

Network Port Status LEDs

Each OSFP Port is provided with a single bi-color LED, red and green.

Network Ports

 
Table 6: Network Port Status LEDs (OSFP Ports)
Color State Description Lane Display
No Breakout (Non-channelized)
Unlit Off

By default, the LED is unlit, so it is in the Off state. The LED can be unlit even when power is present and a transceiver is present in the port.

Not Applicable
Green On Steadily A link is established, and there is no link activity.
Green On Steadily

A link is established, and there is link activity.

Red On Steadily

The link is down because the port or transceiver has a hardware failure.

Off Off

The link is down with an LoS.

Amber On Steadily

The link is down or the port experiences a fault other than loss of signal or transceiver hardware failure.

Amber On Steadily

The link is down because the port was disabled through the CLI.

Off Off

Transceiver is not installed.

Amber On Steadily An interface error is detected.
Breakout (Channelized)
Off On Steadily

By default, the LED is unlit, so it is in the Off state. The LED can be unlit even when power is present and a transceiver is present in the port.

Per Lane LED is not provided
Green On Steadily

A link is established, and there is no link activity.

Green On Steadily
Note: Green LED indication is lit only if link is up for all channels.

A link is established, and there is link activity.

Red On Steadily

The link is down because the port or transceiver has a hardware failure with transceiver initialization error.

Off Off

The link is down with an LoS for all channels.

Amber On Steadily

The link is down because at least one of the breakout port was disabled through the CLI.

Amber On Steadily

The LED color is amber for all other scenarios.

Color State Description Lane Display
Unlit Off Default (power on, with or without transceiver) Not Applicable
Green On Steadily Link is established with no activity
Green On Steadily Link is established with activity
Red On Steadily Link is down, with transceiver hardware failure
Off Off Link is down with loss of signal (LoS) detected
Amber On Steadily Link is down with any other fault except LoS and transceiver hardware failure
Amber On Steadily Port is explicitly disabled in the Command line interface (CLI)
