EX4300 Chassis

LCD Panel in EX4300 Switches

The LCD panel on the front panel of the EX4300 switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches shows two lines of text, each with a maximum of 16 characters. The LCD panel displays a variety of information about the switch and also provides a menu to perform basic operations such as initial setup and reboot.

Note

There is no LCD panel on EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches.

There are two navigation buttons—Menu and Enter—to the right of the LCD panel.

See Figure 1.

The first line of text on the LCD panel displays basic information about the switch and the second line of text displays information about the mode selected on the LCD panel. You can configure the second line of the text for the LCD panel to display a custom message. If the LCD panel is configured to display a custom message, the Menu button and the Enter button are disabled. See Configuring the LCD Panel on EX Series Switches (CLI Procedure).

The LCD panel has a backlight. If the LCD panel is idle for 60 seconds, the backlight turns off. You can turn on the backlight by pressing the Menu or Enter button once. After turning on the backlight, you can toggle between the LCD panel menus by pressing the Menu button and navigate through the menu options by pressing the Enter button.

Note

The chassis viewer in the J-Web interface also displays the LCD panel. From the J-Web interface, you can view real-time status information in the LCD panel. See Dashboard for EX Series Switches.

LCD Panel Modes

The LCD panel operates in four modes: boot, idle, status, and maintenance.

The first line of text on the LCD panel displays the slot number, the role of the switch, and hostname in all the modes.

For a standalone EX4300 switch, by default the slot number is 00, and the role is RE.

In an EX4300 switch that is a member of a Virtual Chassis, the first line of the LCD panel always displays:

• The slot number (the member ID of the Virtual Chassis member)

• Role of the switch in the Virtual Chassis (RE for master, BK for backup, and LC for line card member)

• Hostname

The LCD panel operates in boot mode during switch reboot. In the boot mode, the second line of the LCD panel displays the key milestones in the switch boot process. The boot mode does not have any menu options. After the boot process is complete, the LCD panel automatically reverts to the Idle (IDLE) menu.

In idle mode, the second line of text on the LCD panel displays the mode of the network ports’ Status LED and the number of chassis alarms. The number of alarms is updated every second.

In status mode, the second line displays:

• Status of the Virtual Chassis port (VCP)

• Status of the power supplies

• Status of the fan modules and the chassis temperature

• Version of Junos OS for EX Series switches loaded on the switch

In maintenance mode, the second line displays one of the following options, which you can use to configure and troubleshoot the switch:

• System halt

• System reboot

• Load rescue

• Request VC port

• Factory default

• EZSetup

LCD Panel Menus

The LCD panel has three menus: Idle, Status, and Maintenance. You can toggle between the LCD panel menus by pressing the Menu button and navigate through the menu options by pressing the Enter button.

Table 1 describes the LCD panel menu options.

Uplink Modules in EX4300 Switches

EX4300 switches provide a slot to install an optional uplink module. Uplink modules are hot-insertable and hot-removable field-replaceable units (FRUs).

You can install an uplink module horizontally in the uplink module slot on the front panel of the switch. By installing an uplink module, you add more ports to your switch, thereby increasing the port density of the switch.

Table 2 shows the uplink modules supported on 24-port and 48-port EX4300 switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches, their descriptions, and the Junos OS release in which the models were released. Table 3 shows the uplink modules supported on 32-port EX4300 switches, their descriptions, and the Junos OS release in which the models were released. Table 4 shows the uplink modules supported on EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches, their descriptions, and the Junos OS release in which the models were released.

The SFP+ uplink module ports in EX4300- switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches can operate either in 10-gigabit or in 1-gigabit mode depending on the transceiver you install in them. The operating mode for an SFP+ uplink module is shown in the output of the show chassis pic fpc-slot slot number pic-slot slot number command.

Each port on the uplink modules has a pair of LEDs that indicate the link activity and status of the port. See Network Port, Built-In QSFP+ Port, Uplink Port, and Uplink Module Port LEDs on EX4300 Switches for details about the status and link activity LEDs.

SFP+ uplink modules are shipped with dust covers installed in the ports. QSFP+ uplink module is shipped with a dust cover installed in one of the ports.

Chassis Status LEDs on EX4300 Switches

EX4300 switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches have three chassis status LEDs (labeled ALM, SYS, and MST) on the right of the LCD panel, next to the Menu and Enter buttons (see Figure 11). EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches have three chassis status LEDs (labeled ALM, SYS, and MST) on the right of the front panel (see Figure 12).

Table 8 describes the chassis status LEDs on an EX4300 switch, their colors and states, and the status they indicate. You can view the colors of the three LEDs remotely through the CLI by issuing the operational mode command show chassis led.

A major alarm (red) indicates a critical error condition that requires immediate action.

A minor alarm (yellow) indicates a noncritical condition that requires monitoring or maintenance. A minor alarm that is left unchecked might cause interruption in service or performance degradation.

All three LEDs can be lit simultaneously.

Management Port LEDs on EX4300 Switches

The management port, labeled MGMT, on the rear panel of an EX4300 switch, has two LEDs that indicate link activity and status of the management port. Figure 13 shows the location of Management port on a 24-port EX4300 switch. The location of the LEDs and their behavior are similar for all EX4300 switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches. Figure 14 shows the location of Management port on EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S Switches.

Network Port, Built-In QSFP+ Port, Uplink Port, and Uplink Module Port LEDs on EX4300 Switches

Each 10/100/1000BASE-T network port, SFP network port, SFP+ uplink port, SFP+ uplink module port, built-in QSFP+ port, and QSFP+ uplink module port on an EX4300 switch has two LEDs that show the link activity and status of the port.

• Figure 15 shows the location of the LEDs on the 10/100/1000BASE-T and 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T Ethernet network ports.

• Figure 16 shows the location of the LEDs on the SFP network ports on EX4300 switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches. There are no SFP network ports on EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches.

There are four LEDs for each port (labeled 2, 3, 4, and 5 in Figure 19). If a port is configured to operate at 10-Gbps speed by using breakout cables, four 10-Gbps interfaces are created and the four LEDs for that port becomes operational. Each of these LEDs indicates the link activity on the corresponding interface. If a port is configured to operate at 40-Gbps or 100-Gbps speed, the LED labeled 2 for that port in Figure 19 becomes operational and indicates the link activity on the corresponding port.

Table 12 describes the Status LED on 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet network ports and SFP network ports. On EX4300 switches except EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches, from the Idle menu of the LCD panel, use the Enter button on the LCD panel to toggle between the ADM, DPX, SPD, and PoE+ indicators. On EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches, use the Factory Reset/Mode button on the far right side of the front panel to toggle the Status LED to show the different port parameters for the RJ-45 network ports. You can tell which port parameter is indicated by the Status LED by looking at which port status mode LED (SPD, DX, EN, and PoE) is lit.
