Port Status LEDs

The front panel of the NCS-57B1 chassis consists of the following ports for data path connectivity through optical modules:

NCS-57B1-5DSE-SYS: x24 QSFP28 ports, x5 QSFP-DD
NCS-57B1-6D24-SYS: x24 QSFP28 ports, x6 QSFP-DD

The front panel of the NCS-57C1 chassis consists of the following ports for data path connectivity through optical modules:

NCS-57C1: x6 QSFP-DD ports, x16 SFP-50G ports, and x32 SFP-25G ports

Note

In the NCS-57C1 routers, there are additional thermal vent perforations next to the port status LEDs. These perforations are meant to provide additional air flow for cooling the chassis. The LED status of a port can be viewed from these perforations as well.

The front panel of the NCS-57D2 chassis consists of the 66 QSFP-DD ports for data path connectivity through optical modules:

Each port consists a bi-color (Green and Amber) LED for indicating various status information of the optical ports.

Table 4. NCS-57B1, NCS-57C1, NCS-57D2 Port Status LEDs (one per port)
LED Color	Description
Off	Port is administratively shut down.
Green	Port is administratively enabled and the link is up.
Amber	Port is administratively enabled and the link is down.

Port Status LED Display

The NCS-57C3-MOD front panel LED display shows the status of the ports.


1	Port Status LED Display	2	DISPLAY Mode Button

The display uses a ##BB format that shows the port number (##) and the status (BB). Status can be green (GN) or yellow (YL) or red (RD). The display cycles through each port number in 1-second intervals.

By default, the display shows all ports and their status. You can change the display mode to show only ports that are in yellow (YL) state by pressing the DISPLAY button for less than 4 seconds and release. To return to the default behavior, press and hold the DISPLAY button for more than 5 seconds and release.

Table 5. NCS-57C3 Port Status LED Display
LED Display	Description	XR Show Controller LED Status
GN	Port is administratively enabled, link is up.	Green
YL	Port is administratively enabled, link is down.	Yellow
RD	Port is administratively shut down.	No option to print

MPA LEDs

The STATUS LED is located on the front left of the MPA and the attention (ATTN) is located on the front right of the MPA. The Link LED for each port is located either between the two rows of ports (each of these LEDs is a triangle pointing to the port above or below the LED) or under the port.
