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
Table C-1

Link failure or not connected
SFP not present

Error disabled
OL-8007-10, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
Reason Codes for Nonoperational States
Description
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.
Cisco MDS SAN-OS 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.
For example:
• Configuration failure.
• Incompatible buffer-to-buffer credit configuration.
To make the interface operational, you must first fix the
error conditions causing this state; and next,
administratively shut down or enable the interface.
