If you are looking at a problem regarding built-in Ethernet port 1 or built-in
Ethernet port 2, refer to "Ethernet connectivity between file modules."
Isolation procedures:
Ensure that the file module is powered up before you begin this procedure. The
network connection being diagnosed must be connected to an active port on your
Ethernet network.
v Determine the state of the Ethernet LEDs examining the LEDs of the Ethernet
v The activity LED flashes when there is activity on the connection. The link state
If your link is not connected, perform the following actions to check the port status
each time until it is corrected or connected:
1. Verify that each end of the cable is securely connected.
2. Verify that the port on the Ethernet switch or hub is configured correctly.
3. Connect the cable to a different port on your Ethernet network.
4. Replace the Ethernet cable.
5. For the 10 GbE Ethernet port, replace the small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
