Verify Communication Between Switch and HAFM appliance

Communication must be verified between the switch and the HAFM appliance

Element Manager and EWS applications. To verify switch-to-appliance

communication:

1. At the management application’s main window (physical map or product list),

inspect the shape and color of the status symbol associated with the Edge

Switch product icon. Table 3 explains the symbols and associated operational

states.

Table 3: Switch Operational States and Symbols

Operational State Symbol

Operational—switch-to appliance communication is established,

the switch is operational, and no failures are indicated. Go to “Set

Switch Date and Time” on page 59.

Degraded—s

witch-to-appliance communication is established, but

the switch is operating in degraded mode and requires service. This

condition is typical if a port or redundant FRU fails.

Go to step 2.

Failed—switch-to appliance communication is established, but the

switch failed and requires immediate service. Go to step 2.

Status Unknown—the switch status is unknown because of a

network communication failure between the switch and HAFM

appliance. Go to step 2.
