LCD Panel Modes
The LCD panel operates in four modes: boot, idle, status, and maintenance.
The LCD panel operates in boot mode during switch reboot. The boot mode displays the
key milestones in the switch boot process. The boot mode does not have any menu
options. After the boot process is complete, the LCD panel automatically reverts to the
Idle menu.
In an EX4200 switch that is not a member of a Virtual Chassis, the first line of the LCD
panel displays the slot number, the role of the switch, and hostname. For a standalone
EX4200 switch, the slot number is always 00 and the role is always RE (for master).
In an EX4200 switch that is a member of a Virtual Chassis, the first line of the LCD panel
displays:
•
The slot number (the member ID for the Virtual Chassis member)
•
Role of the switch in a Virtual Chassis (RE for master, BK for backup, and LC for linecard
member)
•
Hostname
In the idle mode, the second line displays the mode of the network ports’ Status LED and
the number of chassis alarms. The number of alarms is updated every second.
In the status mode, the second line displays:
•
Virtual Chassis port (VCP) status (for an EX4200 switch that is a member of a Virtual
Chassis)
•
Status of the power supply
