The LCD display may stop updating and the Status LED may turn Amber and begin blinking on BIG-IP 2000, 4000, 5000, 7000, or 10000-series appliances.
When this condition occurs, the front-panel LCD display does not display the current BIG-IP host status, and the Status LED blinks Amber. There is no impact to BIG-IP host operations, and no disruption to traffic.
The Status LED turns Amber if the LED/LCD module stops receiving updates from the BIG-IP host, and begins blinking Amber if the LED/LCD module does not receive updates from the BIG-IP host for three minutes or longer. This condition may occur if data transfers between the BIG-IP host and the LED/LCD module over the connecting USB bus becomes stalled. Due to changes in BIG-IP v11.5.0 and later, the frequency and likelihood of this condition is greatly reduced, but may still occur under rare conditions.
This condition can be cleared by either of the following actions: 1. Press one of the buttons on the LCD display to navigate the LCD menus. 2. Issue the following command at the BIG-IP host console: /sbin/lsusb -v -d 0451:3410. Either action generates USB traffic, which triggers recovery from the USB stalled transfer condition.
Auto-recovery from a USB stalled-transfer condition has been implemented, which prevents the Status LED from blinking Amber on BIG-IP 2000, 4000, 5000, 7000, 10000 or 12000-series appliances.
