Clicking on slot 12 10G-SW16LC-6C2ER from the Status menu will display the following information for this switch line card.
This webpage for the 10G-SW16LC-6C2ER switch line card is subdivided into categories: general information, uc, and 10G-SW16LC-6C2ER. Each section/category contains a variety of counters and state bits related to the operation or health of the monitoring line card. As a general rule, a non-zero value for a state bit or counter should be investigated as it may indicate an abnormality in the functioning of the hardware.
By default, this web page displays the information in a condensed format, and you must click on the individual components (e.g., voltage, temperature) in order to view the details for each. If you prefer to view the verbose output, click on all in the top righthand corner of the web page. To return to the condensed format for the output, you will need to go back to a previous web page, and then return to this web page.
Click on the name of the counter/state bit below and the hyperlink will forward to the glossary for its definition and a list of possible causes for the non-zero value.
The general information section of the webpage includes:
serial number -- the serial number for the switch line card.
engineering date code -- internal Myricom manufacturing information.
firmware version -- internal Myricom use.
monitor version -- internal Myricom use.
The uc section provides information pertaining to the health of the microcontroller on the switch line card.
state -- the operational state for the switch line card.
reboot: <n>
This clickable variable hyperlinks to a webpage to reboot the microcontroller on this switch line card, or the microcontrollers on all of the switch line cards.
Checking the reboot box and clicking on Apply on this webpage will set this <n> state bit value to 1 and trigger the rebooting of the selected microcontroller(s).
The 10G-SW16LC-6C2ER section provides information on the individual components of the switch line card. The Ethernet/Myrinet line cards (10G-SW16LC-6C2ER) have two XFP ports that are labeled "Ethernet". These ports will interoperate with any other 10G Ethernet NIC or switch port, regardless of the manufacturer. In addition, the line cards have six unmarked 10GBase-CX4 ports, which are 10G Myrinet.
voltage a indicates the main voltage coming into the line card from the switch chassis. The value of this voltage should be 0 - 13.2V.
voltage b -- can be ignored.
shutdown: <n>
This clickable variable hyperlinks to a webpage to shutdown this switch line card, or all of the switch line cards.
Checking the shutdown box and clicking on Apply on this webpage will set this <n> state bit value to 1 and trigger the shutdown of the selected switch line card(s).
If this <n> state bit has a non-zero value, the the microcontroller on the switch line card is in the SHUTDOWN state. If the value is set to zero, the microcontroller goes to the SELF-TEST state, and if the test is successful, it then goes to the OPERATING state.
10ge_port 0 and 10ge_port 1 denote the two 10GBase-R switch ports on the switch line card. Refer to the text below for a discussion of the diagnostic information available for such a switch port.
cx4_port 2 through cx4_port 7 denote the six 10GBase-CX4 switch ports on the switch line card. Refer to the text below for a discussion of the diagnostic information available for such a switch port.
10g_xbar16 0 denotes the crossbar on this 10G-SW16LC-6C2ER switch line card. Refer to the text below for a discussion of the diagnostic information available for a crossbar.
voltage 0 through voltage 5 indicate a number of individual voltages measured at various locations on the line cards. The number of voltages measured, and their precise values, vary depending on the type of line card. (The customer will rarely (if ever) need to look at these values.)
temperature 0 and temperature 1 are the inlet and outlet temperatures for the switch line card, respectively. The temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius.
current
This clickable variable hyperlinks to a webpage to determine if a power fluctuation in the electrical current has occurred.
The following state bit and counter are on this webpage.
over current fault
This state bit has the following values:
over current fault: 0 if circuit breaker has not tripped
1 if circuit breaker has tripped
over current count
This counter indicates the number of times that the value of the over current fault state bit has toggled between 0 and 1.
current -- measured in mA
This variable is measured in mA. If the switch line card is in the OPERATING state, the value of this variable indicates the electrical current being drawn by the switch line card. If over current fault has been tripped, the value indicates the electrical current that was being drawn at the time it was tripped.
operating led
This clickable variable hyperlinks to a webpage to modify the behavior of the status LED on the switch line card.
This webpage lists the following state bits.
led state: <n> (<color>)
The values of <n> and <color> are as follows:
led state: 0 indicates LED is off
1 indicates LED is fault (amber)
2 indicates LED is operating (green)
4 indicates LED is blinking green
5 indicates LED is blinking amber
6 indicates LED is blinking amber/green
force led: <n> (<color>)
This clickable variable hyperlinks to a webpage to modify the behavior of the status LED on the switch line card.
The pull-down menu allows us to select a different color for the LED or to turn off the LED. Check the appropriate box to specify the scope of the operation to only affect this specific LED, all LEDs on a switch line card, or all LEDs on all switch line cards, and then click Apply.
If force led is nonzero, the LED is in the state specified by force led, and led state indicates what state the LED would be in if force led is zero.
force led: 0 indicates LED handled by uC
1 forces fault indication (amber)
2 forces operating indication (green)
3 forces LED to be off.
4 forces LED to blink green
5 forces LED to blink amber
6 forces LED to blink amber/green
For demonstration purposes, we shall examine 10ge_port 0, cx4_port 2, and 10g_xbar16 0 and the data available for each.
From the slot 12 10G-2SW16LC-6C2ER webpage, if we then click on 10ge_port 0, for example, the following diagnostic information will appear for this port.
