Load led's on WS-X6k-SUP2-2GE

[Bas Van Den Dikkenberg]

I have cisco catalyst 6509 with 2 x WS-X6k-SUP2-2GE. on the supervisor module is a switchload led indicator .

I switch has never load according to load indicator.

Do i need to enable this in the switch config.

The switch is running catos

Hello,

Did not find uch about except that it seems that SWITCHLOAD led's will

not turn on untill there is a minimum load of 10 to 15 % on chassi even if scale of 1 to 100.

No config is needed to enable it afaik.

Hope this helps,

Nik

This is on by default and need not be enabled explicitly.More than likely you will  not see much on this unless you are pushing a considerable amount  of traffic through the Catalyst. "show system" (with CatOS) or "show  cat" (with Native IOS) will show you your Peak Backplane Utilization  during it's up time. If this number is not over about 8% you would not even  see one bar on this indicator.

Hope that helps

Cheers
