Probable Cause Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has fallen below the low
boundary. Link loss errors occur when a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical
and hardware problems can cause link loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of
synchronization. Check for concurrent loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable,
troubleshoot them. A low number of link loss errors means that the switch is functioning normally.
Recommended No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the
Action end-user installation.

Probable Cause Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has risen above the high
boundary. Link loss errors occur when a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical
and hardware problems can cause link loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of
synchronization. Check for concurrent loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable,
troubleshoot them.
Recommended Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and small form-factor pluggables
Action (SFPs) are not faulty.
Losses of synchronization commonly cause link failures. If you receive concurrent loss of
synchronization errors, troubleshoot the loss of synchronization.
Severity WARNING
FW-1163
Message
<timestamp>, [FW-1163], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, <Port Name>,
<Label>, is between high and low boundaries(High=<High value>, Low=<Low value>).
Current value is <Value> <Unit>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the number of link failures that the port experiences has changed from a value
outside of the acceptable range to a value within the acceptable range. Link loss errors occur when
a link experiences a loss of signal and fails. Both physical and hardware problems can cause link
loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization. Check for concurrent
loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot them.
Recommended No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the
