Verifying MP Health
After you install the MP access point and enable PoE on the Ethernet cable
connected to the MP, you can easily verify the MP’s status by observing the LEDs,
particularly the health LED. (See Figure 4 on page 12.)
The health or LINK LED indicates whether the MP access point is ready for
operation.
MP LED Appearance Meaning
Solid green For an MP access point’s active link, all the
following are true:
• MP access point has booted.
• MP access point has received a valid
configuration from the MX switch.
• Management link with an MP access point is
operational.
• At least one radio is enabled or is in sentry
mode.
For an MP access point’s secondary link, the
link is present.
Alternating green and
amber
MP access point is booting with an image
received from the MX switch. After the access
point boots and receives its configuration, this
LED appearance persists until a radio is enabled
or is placed in sentry mode.
Solid amber PoE is on.
Blinking amber MP is unresponsive or there is a PoE problem.
Unlit PoE is off.
