Cisco ASA 5500 - Status Light flashing Green then Red
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 at one of my sites.  We lost power and the user turned off the router and back on.  When it comes up, the Status light is green then turns red.  When it turns red, all the lights go out at the network ports.  This router has worked fine and it is only 3 years old,  Any suggestions or is it dead in the water?

It is the status light.  I checked and the router is back up and working.  So I can safely assume that it reconnected sometime during the night.  Is this an indicator that I am going to have to replace it?

It means that you need a new power supply.
You can try completely disconnecting everything and plugging back, but most likely one of power supplies needs reordering warranty or not.

Thank you.  When you say power supply, do you mean the external power cord and adapter or is this some internal device?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
