The ProCurve Switch 2510G Series are multiport Gigabit switches ideal for building high-performance small business networks. They are store-and-forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking. These switches are designed to be used primarily as a high-density wiring closet or desktop switch. They can directly connect computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers. The Switch 2510G Series devices offer full network management capabilities.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Switch LEDs | State | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Power (green) | On | The switch is receiving power. |
| Off | The switch is NOT receiving power. | |
| Fault (orange) | Off | The normal state; indicates there are no fault conditions on the switch. |
| Flashing* | A fault has occurred on the switch, one of the switch ports, or the fan. The Status LED for the component with the fault will blink simultaneously. | |
| Locator (blue) | On | On briefly after the switch is powered on or reset, at the beginning of switch self test. If this LED is on for a prolonged time, the switch has encountered a fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test. See chapter 4, “Troubleshooting" for more information. |
| Flashing | The Locator LED is used to locate a specific switch in an area full of switches. The LED can be set to be on solid or flash for a specified number of minutes (1-1440). The default is 30 minutes. Use the command "chassislocate". | |
| Port LEDs (green - Link and Mode) | Link | Indicates the port LEDs are displaying link information: • if the port LED is on, the port is enabled and receiving a link indication from the connected device. • if the port LED is off, the port has no active network cable connected, or is not receiving link beat or sufficient light. Otherwise, the port may have been disabled through the switch console, the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager. • if the port LED is flashing* simultaneously with the Fault LED, the corresponding port has failed its self test. |
| Mode | The operation of the Mode LED is controlled by the LED Mode select button, and the current setting is indicated by the LED Mode indicator LEDs near the button. Press the button to step from one view mode to the next. The default view is Activity (Act). | |
| LED Mode View (3 green LEDs) | Act | Indicates the port LEDs are displaying network activity information. |
| FDx | Indicates port LEDs are lit for ports in Full Duplex Mode. Off indicates half duplex. | |
| Spd | Indicates the port LEDs are displaying the connection speed at which each port is operating: • if the port LED is off, the port is operating at 10 Mbps. • if the port LED is flashing**, the port is operating at 100 Mbps. • if the port LED is on continuously, the port is operating at 1000 Mbps. |
