Supervisor Engine 720
Front panel features
Status LEDs See Table 2-16 for a list of the status LEDs and their descriptions.
RESET switch The RESET switch allows you to reset and restart the switch.
Note Because the reset switch is recessed in the faceplate, you must use a
ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the switch.
CONSOLE port This is a 10/100/1000 port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port
allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or
remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232
asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control.
DISK 0 and DISK 1 slot and
LEDs
Two PCMCIA slots are available. The PCMCIA slots allow a Flash PC card
to be installed providing additional flash memory. You can use this flash
memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. An
eject button is located on the left side, next to each slot. Pushing in on the
button ejects the Flash PC card from the slot. The slot supports 64, 128, 256,
512
MB, and 1 GB Flash PC cards.
Each PCMCIA slot has an LED associated with it.
Uplink ports (PORT 1 and
PORT
2)
• Supervisor Engine 720 has three uplink ports: Two 1000BASE-X SFP
ports and one 10/100/1000BASE RJ-45 port. Only two ports can be
active at one time.
Note The two 1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-X uplink ports require SFP
transceivers to be installed.
Note In chassis configurations where there are redundant supervisor
engines installed, the uplink ports on the supervisor engine that is in
standby mode are fully functional.
Each uplink port has a LINK LED associated with it. The LINK LED
indicates the link status of the corresponding port.
• Green—The port is active (the link is connected and operational).
• Flashing orange—The port failed diagnostics and is disabled.
• Orange—The port is disabled.
• Red—The supervisor engine is resetting; an overtemperature condition
has occurred.
Note If the supervisor engine fails to download code and configuration
information successfully during the initial reset, the LED stays red;
the supervisor engine does not come online.
• Off—The port is not active or the link is not connected.
