Amber LED and Operate Routing, what does it mean?

Amber LED and Operate Routing, what does it mean?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

Have a single port that is showing a solid amber LED, yet it seems to be working fine.

It is configured as an SMLT across a cluster pair. Pulling one or the other link on either cluster, the switch on the end carries on working. The same port on both the cluster members is showing the amber LED.

What is odd about it is if you shutdown the interface and re-enable it again the LEDs look normal i.e. green and flashing. When you do the other side the same happens, but at some point, not sure where in the sequence they go amber again,

I can’t see anything on the ports that is showing an error. Equally if I compare the config to another port that is working fine they are the same.

This seems to be what the LED colours refer to:

The only thing I have noticed is from the output below that port 3/1, the port with the issue shows ‘Operate Routing’ disable, where as all the others show it enabled - have not idea what this means?

Issue turned out to be with the AVAGO Gbic.

So although the same where used in other slots, had been swapped with another Gbic that seemed to working in another slot and equally had been moved working from an S8 to VOSS, something about it just wasn’t compatible.

These GBIC’s turned out not to be on the Extreme approved list, and thereby replacing with Extreme badged it worked fine.

Raised with GTAC whom identified the issue and provided this link to identify supported GBICs

You can try to move the SFP to another slot and or replace the SFP. 

I found another article and it looks very similar to your case:

Hi Dany,

Thanks for putting the time in to look at it, much appreciated.

Here is the output of the port with the issue and one that is OK, so look fairly the same:

Here is the show mlt i-sid. I used an MLT that match the port i.e. 301 is port 3/1, 304 is 3/4, 423 is 4/23 and so on

Each of the VLANs used have IP address associated, except for VLAN 2002, but this is being used on other ports without an issue:

Strange right, might open a GTAC case as doesn’t seem straight forward. To me it seems like a L1 issue, primarily as all the other ports are OK and config wise I can’t see any difference.

If you have anymore ideas let me know, if I find out anything in the meantime I’ll post back.

Many thanks

I have checked the “Operrouting” on my side. All UNI ports with a VLAN and an IP address attached to this VLAN are on Operrouting enabled. The NNI ports with only the BB VLANs 4051-4052 are on Operrouting disabled. This makes sense. The doc says: Shows the routing status of the port.

 

The only thing I know about the flashing port LEDs on VOSS is when they are administratively shut. By default they are all shut.

 

Do you have configured the SMLT VLANs with the same I-SID on both cluster members so they are connected via the virtual IST? (show mlt i-sid)

Maybe there is a problem on L1 with the SFP? Do you have something in the DDI informations? (show pluggable-optical-modules detail)
