Monitoring overview
The Brocade VDX 8770-4 is engineered for reliability and requires no routine operational steps or
maintenance. This chapter provides information about determining the status of each component
using LEDs and CLI commands. Refer to the Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide for
additional information.
There are two commands that can be especially helpful in monitoring the health of the Brocade
VDX 8770-4. These commands are show chassis and the various show environment commands.
For details about these commands, refer to the Brocade Network OS Command Reference.
Determining the status of a line card
Use the following procedure to determine the status of a line card.
1. Check the LEDs on the module.
• Figure 5 illustrates the 48x10G line card. The 48x1G line card looks the same except for
the name on the end.
• Figure 6 illustrates the 12x40G line card.
The LED patterns may temporarily change during POST and other diagnostic tests. For
information about how to interpret the LED patterns, refer to
Table 9 .
2. You can use the show linecard or show slots command to see if your line cards are enabled.
The line cards are labeled L1 through L4 in the output.The show linecard command limits the
output to the line card slots only.
3. To check the status of the interfaces (ports) on the line card, use the show interface command.
