Hardware Description

Users can monitor the operating status and fault conditions of key hardware components of the switch (power supply, fan, main system) through LED indicators of different colors and states.

OperationStatusDescription

Not brightNot powered
SYellow-green light, always onThe system is operating normally.
Yellow-green light, flashingSystem starting up
Red light, always onHardware failure detected
Not brightNot powered
PYellow-green light, always onPSU power supply is normal
Red light, always onThere is an abnormality in the PSU
Not brightNot powered
FYellow-green light, always onAll fans are working properly.
Red light, always onFan failure
Not brightNot powered
LBlue light, flickeringEnable the device positioning indication function in the management system settings
Not brightFunction not enabled (default state)

Users can control the positioning indicator light of the switch to flash through the command line, enabling quick physical location of a specific switch among numerous devices.

Operations staff need to quickly grasp the key hardware health status of switches during daily inspections or hardware fault troubleshooting. The “show environment” command provides the ability to view all key hardware operating indicators in one stop, eliminating the need for item-by-item checks.

CommandDescription
show environment allFan speed, temperature of various parts, power supply status, and system hardware information
show environment fansReal-time rotational speed (RPM) of all fans
show environment tempsTemperatures of key components such as CPU, switch chips, and fans
show environment powersInput/output voltage, current, power, temperature, and fan speed of the power supply unit (PSU)
show environment systemSystem hardware information, such as CPLD and motherboard versions

The status and summary information of the hardware platform itself can also be obtained through the show platform command.

OperationCommandDescription
