Diagnosing Problems
The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show POST 
failures, port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. You can also get statistics from the 
device manager, from the CLI, or from an SNMP workstation. See the software configuration guide, the 
switch command reference guide on Cisco.com, or the documentation that came with your SNMP 
application for details.
Switch POST Results
See the 
 for information on POST.
Note
POST failures are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch does 
not pass POST.
Switch LEDs
If you have physical access to the switch, look at the port LEDs for troubleshooting information about 
the switch. See the 
 for a description of the LED colors and their meanings.
