Troubleshooting

➍

The network port for

which the Link LED is

flashing 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 HP

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

listed on page 1. Use only the supported HP 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

flashing 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 flashing 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 documentation CD-ROM that came with your

switch.
