Unless otherwise noted, the following information applies to all DFE-Platinum modules.

The modules use a built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system called 
LANVIEW. The LANVIEW LEDs (

) allow quick observation of the network 

status to aid in diagnosing network problems. 

The MGMT LED (shown in 

) indicates when the module is serving as the 

Management Module to control the management functions for all DFE-Platinum modules 
in the chassis. The Management Module handles all IP requests to the chassis IP address, 
such as PING, Telnet, SNMP, HTTP, etc. The Management Module also handles the CLI 
configuration sessions via the console port. So, when you plug into a DFE-Platinum 
module COM port to configure a DFE-Platinum module in the chassis, it is handled by the 
Management Module regardless of the DFE-Platinum module COM port that you use. 

On the 7H4382-25, you can view the receive and transmit activity on the RX and TX LEDs. 
However, only one group of 12 ports may be viewed at a time.
