Networking LED Interfaces

There is a one bi-color I/O LED per port to indicate link status. See the below table for p hysical and logical link indications in Ethernet Mode.

LED Color and State

Description

Off

A link has not been established

Blinking Ambera

6Hz blinking Amber indicates a problem with the physical link

Solid Green

Indicates a valid link with no active traffic

Blinking Green

Indicates a valid logical link with active traffic

a. 1Hz Blinking Amber occurs due to running a beacon command for locating the BF1600 Controller Card

CPLD Revision LEDs Interface

There are four green I/O LEDs to indicate the CPLD revision. The LEDs are located on the BlueField BF1600 Controller Card. See the below table for Revision LEDs.
