ProCurve Switch xl Modules

Troubleshooting

➍

The network port for

which the Link LED is

blinking has

experienced a self test

or initialization failure.

During the module self test (described in item 1 above), each network port is also

tested. If the port self test fails, the individual port is not usable, but the rest of

the ports on the module, which have passed their self test, will continue to

operate normally.

If the error has occurred on a mini-GBIC that you have installed in the mini-GBIC

xl Module, make sure that it is one of the supported mini-GBICs. The ProCurve

mini-GBICs that are supported, as of the printing of this manual, are listed on

page 1. Use only the supported ProCurve mini-GBICs. If it is a supported mini-

GBIC, it may have failed. Try removing and reinstalling the mini-GBIC and it will

be tested again. If the fault indication reoccurs, the mini-GBIC is faulty and must

be replaced.

If the error has occurred on a port that contains a known valid mini-GBIC or on

a twisted-pair port or 100-FX port on one of the other modules, try removing and

reinstalling the module. If the port fault indication reoccurs, and you need to be

able to use the port, you will have to replace the module. In the mean time, all

the other ports on the module will operate normally.

➎

The network port for

which the Link LED is

blinking has been

disabled because port

security has been

configured on the

switch and a security

violation has been

detected on the port.

For the Port Security feature, you can configure the switch so that whenever a

security violation is detected on a port, the switch will disable the port. When a

port is disabled by this feature, the port Link LED will be continuously flashed at

the fast rate of 0.8 seconds per cycle. The blinking continues until you clear the

security violation through the switch console. In the console, you can view the

identity of the connected device that committed the security violation.

Once the security violation is cleared, you must re-enable the port through the

console.

For more information on the Port Security feature, see the Management and

Configuration Guide that is on the ProCurve Web site.
