If you receive any of the errors listed above, then follow the suggested debugging procedures:
•
The spinFab command does not clear any existing error counters before running the test. You
should first clear all error counters and re-run the spinFab command.
•
Verify that the link comes up by enabling and disabling the local or remote ports.
•
Verify that the source of the error is either local port or remote port. This can be done by
monitoring the port statistics on both the ends simultaneously. Refer to
on page 95 for more information on how to display the statistics for a port.
•
Verify that the cables and SFPs are inserted properly. Remove and insert them again on both
the ends.
•
Verify that the failing local port is working fine when connected to another remote port.
Similarly, check whether the failing remote port is working fine when connected to another
local port.
•
Once the fault is isolated on either the local or remote port, replace the cable and SFPs
connected to the local and remote ports.
•
In-case of loopback ports, change the loopback plug. Refer to
on page 30 for
more information on changing the loopback plug.
•
Further isolation can be done by running the portLoopbackTest command (Offline test) on the
failing port in-order to check whether the blade internal ports are having some problems.
-
The -lb_mode 1 operand verifies that the SFP is working within normal operating
parameters. The use of this operand requires that loopback cables are connected.
-
The -lb_mode 2 verifies that the ASIC port is working within normal operating parameters.
The use of this operand does not require any loopback cables.
Tx/Rx Errors
Following errors are seen when the port fails to transmit or receive the frames.
