Description
The physical layer link is not operational.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware is not
plugged in.
The physical layer link is operational and the protocol
initialization is in progress.
The fabric is currently being reconfigured.
The Cisco NX-OS software waits for the specified
R_A_TOV time before retrying initialization.
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.
A hardware failure is detected.
Error conditions require administrative attention. Interfaces
may be error-disabled for various reasons:
• Configuration failure
• Incompatible buffer-to-buffer credit configuration
To make the interface operational, you must first fix the
error conditions causing this state, and administratively
shut down or enable the interface.
A port is isolated because a Fibre Channel redirect is
unable to program routes.
A port is not active because it does not have a port license.
A port is isolated because SDM is unable to program
routes.
