QFX5241-32OD Switch Management Panel

QFX5241-32OD Management Panel

The management panel is located in the front panel of a QFX5241-32OD switch. You can find the management panel to the right of the port panel. Apart from the 32 network ports in the ports panel that are numbered 0 to 31, the QFX5241-32OD switch offers the following ports in the management panel:

Two SFP28 Ports—Supports data transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbps using SFP28 transceivers. The SFP28 ports are numbered 32 and 33.
One USB 3.0 (SS) port—Primarily used for storage and file transfers. For example, use this port to connect a USB drive to perform upgrades, export configuration files, or save log files.
One RJ-45 console (CONSOLE) port—Provides direct serial communication with the switch to support tasks such as initial configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery.
One RJ-45 management (MGMT) port—Supports out-of-band management of the switch. The typical use cases include secure management, remote management, monitoring, and logging.

QFX5241-32OD Management Panel LEDs

The management panel in the QFX5241-32OD switch has the following LEDs:

Chassis Status LEDs
Management port LEDs
SFP28 port LEDs

The following sections explain how to interpret these LEDs.

QFX5241-32OD Chassis Status LEDs

The QFX5241-32OD switch has three LED types that indicate system status. You can find these LEDs to the right of the network ports.

Figure 2: QFX5241-32OD Chassis Status LEDs

1 — RST—Reset button. You can find the reset button beneath the ID LED. The reset button is not a status LED, although it is located in this panel. Note: When you use the reset button, the device reboots. However, the existing configuration of the switch does not change. That is, the device does not return to the factory-default configuration.	3 — SYS—System status
2 — ID—Serves as a locator or identification indicator for the switch	4 — ALM—Chassis alarm or fault

You can view the colors of the three LEDs remotely through the CLI by issuing the operational mode command show chassis led:

Table 1: Chassis Status LEDs on QFX5241-32OD Switch
Name	Color	State	Description
ALM (Alarm)	Unlit	Off	The device is powered off or halted. There are no alarms for the QFX5241-32OD switch in this state. Note: The ALM LED glows green during BIOS booting.
	Red	On steadily	A major hardware fault has occurred, such as fan or fan tray failure. The device has halted. 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. To troubleshoot, perform the following: Power off the device by setting the AC power source outlet to the off (O) position or by unplugging the AC power cords. Correct any voltage or site temperature issues, and allow the switch to cool down. Power on the device. Monitor the PSU LEDs and fan module LEDs to determine where the error is occurring.
	Red	Blinking	A major hardware fault has occurred, along with another minor hardware fault.
	Yellow	On steadily	A minor system level alarm 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. To troubleshoot, perform the following: Power off the device by setting the AC power source outlet to the off (O) position or by unplugging the AC power cords. Power on the QFX5241-64OD and QFX5241-64QD switches. Monitor the status LEDs to ensure that Junos OS Evolved boots properly.
SYS (System)	Unlit	Off	The device is powered off or halted. Note: The SYS LED glows green during BIOS booting.
	Green	On steadily	System self-diagnostic test has completed successfully.
	Red	On steadily	System self-diagnostic test has detected a fault (fan, thermal or any interface fault).
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. Note: The ID LED glows green during BIOS booting.
ID (Identification)	Blue	Blinking	The beacon feature is enabled on the device. Disable this feature by using the `request chassis beacon fpc 0 off` operational mode command.
Tip: To know the status of the beacon, use the `show chassis beacon` operational mode command: user@host> `show chassis beacon` OFF Note: The system LED is a tricolor LED (red, green, blue). This means it can also display additional colors, such as amber or blue.

Management Port LEDs

The RJ-45 management port on the QFX5241-32OD switch has two LEDs that indicate link status and link activity. The management port is labeled MGMT.

Link activity LED

Table 2: Management Port LEDs on QFX5241-32OD Switch
LED	Color	State	Description
Blinking or flickering	A link is established, and there is link activity.
Status	Unlit	Off	Either the port speed is 10 Mbps or the link is down.
Status	Green	On steadily	The port speed is either 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps.

The management panel also has two SFP28 ports with one LED each.

Table 3: SFP28 Port LEDs on QFX5241-32OD Switch
LED	Color	State	Description
Status	Unlit	Off	No link is established. There is a fault, or the link is down.
Status	Green	On steadily	A link is established and available.
