LED indicators


Legacy platforms use 4 front-panel LEDs to indicate a system's status:
  • Power
  • Status
  • Activity
  • Alarm
Power LED indicator
The Power LED indicator reports the power status: on (green), off (none), or error (red).
LED behaviorDescription
Solid GreenNormal Power ON condition
Off (none)Normal Power OFF condition
Solid RedStandby Power/Failure
Note: Solid Red Failure indication occurs when there are rapid cycles of power (power-off, power-on, power-off, power-on). This condition can usually be corrected by powering off and waiting 2 minutes before turning the power back on.
Status LED indicator
The Status LED indicator reports the Active or Standby status: Active (green), or Standby (yellow).

Activity LED indicator
The purpose of the Activity LED indicator is to indicate traffic going to the CPU for load balancing or other software processing. It is not intended as a substitute for the individual Activity LEDs present on each network interface.
The Activity LED uses hardware inputs as an indication of load balancing activity. On legacy platforms this is driven by a signal from a PHY on an internal Ethernet interface connecting the switch subsystem to the CPU subsystem. It is possible that the Activity LED flickers even when there are no active links on the network interfaces.

Alarm LED indicator
A single LED (Alarm) conveys an alert level (warning, error, alert, critical, and emergency). The specific alert condition is communicated by an SNMP trap and a log message. Additionally, the specific alert condition will be indicated on the LCD screen.
Alert level LED behavior
There are 5 alert levels:
Alert LevelLED behavior
0 - WarningSolid Yellow
1 - ErrorBlink Yellow
2 - AlertSolid Red
3 - CriticalSolid Red
4 - EmergencyBlink Red
Alert conditions
Alerts that affect the behavior of the Alarm LED indicator are defined in the /etc/alertd/alert.conf file. The lcdwarn function of an alert definition defines which alerts will modify the Alarm LED indicator.
As an example, the default alertd process conditions in BIG-IP 9.2 are defined in the following table:
DescriptionAlert LevelLED behavior
CPU Temp too high3 - CriticalSolid Red
CPU fan too slow3 - CriticalSolid Red
CPU fan bad3 - CriticalSolid Red
Chassis Temp too high3 - CriticalSolid Red
Chassis Fan bad3 - CriticalSolid Red
Power Supply bad4 - EmergencyBlink Red
Unit going standby0 - WarningSolid Yellow
Unit going Active0 - WarningSolid Yellow
The license validation failed2 - AlertSolid Red
The license has expired2 - AlertSolid Red
Blocking DoS attack2 - AlertSolid Red
Hard disk is failing4 - EmergencyBlink Red
