Status Indicators

This section discusses the following topics:

Front Indicators

Reviews the status and port indicators of the device.

Appliance Indicators

Describes the front panel LEDs for the Edge 4100 and Edge 5100 appliances.

On VeloCloud Edge 4100 appliance, the front panel LEDs are located on the far left side of the appliance front panel, just below the name panel (see image):

The following table provides status conditions corresponding to port LED states. Port LED behavior for GE and SFP+ ports is consistent.

Table 3. Port LED States (Front)
LED State Status
Off The port link is down.
Green The port link is up.
Yellow The port is software disabled.
Flashing Yellow The port failed diagnostics.

Rear Status Indicators

You can access the fan and power supply modules from the rear panel. Each fan and power supply module contains an LED that reports the module status. Fan Status LEDs are on the fan modules, as displayed in images below.
