Message
Port <port number> Faulted because of many Link Failures.
Message Type
LOG
Severity
WARNING
Probable Cause
Indicates the specified port is now disabled because the link on this port had multiple failures that
exceeded an internally set threshold on the port. This problem is typically related to hardware.
Recommended
Action
Check and replace (if necessary) the hardware attached to both ends of the specified port number,
including:
• The media (SFPs)
• The cable (fiber optic or copper inter-switch link (ISL))
• The attached devices
After checking the hardware, execute the portEnable command to re-enable the port.
PORT-1004
Message
Port <port number> (0x<port number (hex)>) could not be enabled because it is
disabled due to long distance.
Message Type
LOG
Severity
INFO
Probable Cause
Indicates the specified port is not enabled because other ports in the same group have used the buffers
for this port group. This happens when other ports were configured to be long distance.
Recommended
Action
To enable this port, perform one of the following actions:
• Reconfigure the other E_Ports so they are not long distance.
• Change the other E_Ports so they are not E_Ports.
This will free some buffers and allow this port to be enabled.
