Most routers that I know of (at least carrier grade) will report everything back that the lights indicate with the appropriate show command. For example show interfaces ge-0/0/0 would show me link, throughput, carrier status, errors etc. What does the lights indicate that you can't get via the CLI? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg B." <gbobo@woh.rr.com> To: "'Blind sysadmins list'" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 2:02 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] router lights Dave, I have something called a light probe that I use to check lights.

Let me know if you would like more detail. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of David Mehler Sent: Thursday, 11 March 2010 1:25 PM To: blind-sysadmins Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] router lights Hello, Simple question here, how do user's tell which lights on a hub, or switch are active and their color?
