The system output might look like this:
switch# show int fc3/14
fc3/14 is up
If the interface is not working correctly, check the cabling and the host or storage device interface for
faults. If the interface is working correctly, proceed to the next step.
Verify that the device in question appears in the FLOGI database. To do this, enter the following
