3. Funcionament de l'interruptor
3.1 Power On and Self-Test
Once connected to power, the switch will automatically power on and perform a Power-On Self-Test (POST). During POST, the system LEDs will cycle. Upon successful completion, the Status LED will indicate normal operation.
3.2 Indicadors LED
The front panel of the switch features several LEDs that provide status information:
- LED d'alimentació: Indica l'estat d'alimentació de la unitat.
- LED d'error: Illuminates if a system fault is detected.
- LED localitzador: Used to physically locate the switch in a rack or wiring closet.
- LED d'estat: Indica l'estat operatiu general del commutador.
- Botó de prova: Used for diagnostic purposes.
- Botó d'esborrar: Used to clear certain diagnostic states.
- LED d'enllaç/activitat (per port):
- Verd sòlid: S'ha establert un enllaç de xarxa vàlid.
- Verd intermitent: S'està produint activitat de dades al port.
- Apagat: No s'ha detectat cap enllaç o el port està desactivat.
- Speed LEDs (per port):
- Apagat: Connexió de 10 Mbps.
- Verd sòlid: Connexió de 100 Mbps.
- Verd intermitent: 1000 Mbps connection (for Gigabit ports).
