No activity LEDs for CRS3xx series switches?

Wed Feb 14, 2018 3:34 pm

I'm running a CRS317-1G-16S+ and a CRS326-24G-2S+.

They are using ROS, but they are doing switching with a hardware offloaded bridge.

I don't seem to see any activity indication on the LEDs, even though there is 100s of Mb/s of traffic right now. Why?

Hi,
on a CRS317 the "ACT" led is on if the port has a link and it blinks on traffic. This was the default setting on mine.

drbunsen, when moving stead traffic over a port on yours, at about what frequency does the activity lights flash?

On mine, they do flash, but it is a flash off every 2-3 seconds, and it is for every port on the switch. If I remember right (I'm not standing in front of it right now) the activity lights on the two CRS switches that I have interconnected are in sync in this respect (so it is like only some traffic actually activates the activity light, and it is an extremely slow dribble of some kind of broadcast/multicast traffic). I note that the one exception to this is port 1 of my second switch, which is where I have the management router connected. That port also flashes at about the same frequency, but it is not in sync with the rest. That port has a management VLAN (for the subnet used to manage the switches) as native/PVID, and tagged for access to the VLAN used on all the other ports of the switches.

Anyway, here is the sanitized config of the second switch:

Re: No activity LEDs for CRS3xx series switches?

OK, same for me. They are in sync and flashing like every 2 seconds if there was traffic on this port during this time. Doesn't matter if this was a single ping or many megabits worth of traffic.

I wonder this aswell if this is something that is going to get fixed? I would really like to have working activity leds on my CRS326 and CRS317 that blink on actual activity.

I don't think this is gonna be fixed ever.
This kind of make the activity led completely useless. (CSS don't have this issue for example)

That last part is not correct. Watching one of my CSS326 switches with SwitchOS 2.13, the port LEDs wink off about every half second if there is activity, but all ports that are going to wink off do it in sync.
