Interface Nonoperational Reason Codes
If the administrative state for an interface is up and the operational state is down, the reason code differs based on the nonoperational reason code as described in following table.
|
Reason Code |
Description |
Applicable Modes |
|---|---|---|
|
Link failure or not connected |
Physical layer link is not operational. |
All |
|
SFP not present |
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware is not plugged in. |
|
|
Initializing |
The physical layer link is operational and the protocol initialization is in progress. |
|
|
Reconfigure fabric in progress |
The fabric is currently being reconfigured. |
|
|
Offline |
Cisco MDS SAN-OS waits for the specified R_A_TOV time before retrying initialization. |
|
|
Inactive |
The interface VSAN is deleted or is in a suspended state. To make the interface operational, assign that port to a configured and active VSAN. |
|
|
Hardware failure |
A hardware failure is detected. |
|
|
Error disabled |
Error conditions require administrative attention. Interfaces may be error-disabled for various reasons. For example:
To make the interface operational, you must first fix the error conditions causing this state; and next, administratively shut down or enable the interface. |
|
|
Isolation due to ELP failure |
Port negotiation failed. |
Only E ports and TE ports |
|
Isolation due to ESC failure |
Port negotiation failed. |
|
|
Isolation due to domain overlap |
The Fibre Channel domains (fcdomain) overlap. |
|
|
Isolation due to domain ID assignment failure |
The assigned domain ID is not valid. |
|
|
Isolation due to other side E port isolated |
The E port at the other end of the link is isolated. |
|
|
Isolation due to invalid fabric reconfiguration |
The port is isolated due to fabric reconfiguration. |
|
|
Isolation due to domain manager disabled |
The fcdomain feature is disabled. |
|
|
Isolation due to zone merge failure |
The zone merge operation failed. |
|
| Isolation due to VSAN mismatch |
The VSANs at both ends of an ISL are different. |
|
|
Nonparticipating |
FL ports cannot participate in loop operations. It may happen if more than one FL port exists in the same loop, in which case all but one FL port in that loop automatically enters nonparticipating mode. |
Only FL ports and TL ports |
|
PortChannel administratively down |
The interfaces belonging to the PortChannel are down. |
Only PortChannel interfaces |
|
Suspended due to incompatible speed |
The interfaces belonging to the PortChannel have incompatible speeds. |
|
|
Suspended due to incompatible mode |
The interfaces belonging to the PortChannel have incompatible modes. |
|
|
Suspended due to incompatible remote switch WWN |
An improper connection is detected. All interfaces in a PortChannel must be connected to the same pair of switches. |
