Edge Switch 2/24 Service Manual
Message
Invalid attachment reason cannot be determined.
Port is configured as an F_Port, but connected to switch
or director.
This director or switch transmitted an exchange link pro-
tocol (ELP) frame that was rejected by the switch at the
other end of the ISL (Invalid Attachment only).
Interop mode for this switch is set to Open Fabric mode
and the switch at the other end of the ISL is a switch con-
figured for Homogeneous Fabric mode.
A loopback plug is connected to the port and there is no
diagnostic test running.
The port type configuration does not match the actual
port use. Port is configured as an E_Port, but attaches to
a node device.
The cable is connected to a non-homogeneous switch
and interop mode is set to homogeneous fabric mode.
This port type configuration does not match the actual
port use (the port is configured as an F_Port, but attaches
to a switch or director).
The WWN entered to configure port binding is not valid
or a nickname was used that is not configured through
the Element Manager for the attached device.
Possible causes are:
Explanation
Hardware problem on switch or on a connected
node where ELP frames are not delivered, the
response is not received, or a fabric login (FLOGI)
cannot be received. There may be problems in
switch SBAR.
Faulty or dirty cable connection.
Faulty host bus adapters that do not send out FLOGI
within reasonable time frame.
