FPR-2100,FIber is not turning green

[Visauk47]

Hi Guys, 

I am trying to configure a Fiber port in FPR-2100 series but the lights on the port is not turning green, it stays amber all the time.

- I have connected a SFP to the port and connected a cable from the Fiber port to the switch but the light is not going green.

I am using ASA on FPR-2100 and through ASDM, I can see that the port status is enabled but the light is not turning green on the port. 

Any suggestions. ??

Regards,

- Which FTD2100 model are you using?

- Which Fiber ports on the FTD are you using (speed)?

- What is the speed on the switch port?

- How is the port on the switch configured?

This almost sounds like there is either a speed or duplex mismatch between the FTD and the switch.

Hi Marius, 

Thank you for the reply. 

We are using the model mentioned below:- 

Model	Firewall	NGFW	NGIPS	Interfaces
FPR-2110	3G	2.3G	2.3G	12 x RJ45, 4 x SFP

- using Fiber port 15, pic attached, you can see that the light is amber, not turning green.

- Speed on the switch port is 10 G, configured as a trunk port.

Just want to update you that we are using ASA IOS on this firewall, not the FXOS.

Can you share the interface configuration from the ASA and switch?

If your switch side is setup as a trunk, do you have subinterfaces on the ASA so that the traffic is tagged?

Hi Marvin,

I managed to get it working by going to the FXOS, go to the config of the interface and then Scope settings.

@Visauk47 I have the same problem on a 1140 platform.

Can you elaborate on what you did to resolve the issue?

I've went into FXOS -> scope eth-uplink -> scope fabric -> scope interface  1 9
But not sure on which parameter to adjust to go from amber to green

I do have the same issue. Light does not go from amber to green. Tried multiple SFP. I does get identified correctly and we've checked the incoming fiber with a light-meter. But there's no output from the Cisco. Any special configuration?

[Michael Bartholomæussen]

I don't know if it's a bug in regards to the LEDs, but the etherchannel will only use 1 link for FO/HA - this setting could explain why only one LED is on, but one every other equipment, all LEDs on a etherchannel is green.

I was able to use a BX-D but not BX-U, strange but it does work. Had to talk to the other party to change SFP on their end too.
