E_Port Isolation

A Logged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. E_Port
isolation can be caused by the following:

Security failure

A port configured as FL_Port is connected to another switch

Conflicting domain IDs

Conflicting timeout values

Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets
Using QuickTools, review the event browser, and then do the following to
diagnose and correct an isolated E_Port:
1. Does the event browser show an alarm about an invalid attach on the
affected port?


2. Does the event browser show a repeating alarm about an unsupported
E_Port command on the affected port?


3. Display the fabric domain IDs using the Show Domains command, or click
the Switch tab and Summary icon in QuickTools. Are all domain IDs in the
fabric unique?


