E_Port Isolation

A Logged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. An isolated
E_Port is indicated by a red link in the SANsurfer Switch Manager topology
display. E_Port isolation can be caused by the following:
Security failure
FL_Port is connected to another switch
Conflicting domain IDs
Conflicting timeout values
Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets
Refer to the SANbox 5602 Switch Management User's Guide for information
about how to change domain IDs, timeout values, and edit zoning.
Review the event browser and 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 the
Switch data tab in the SANsurfer Switch Manager topology display. Are all
domain IDs in the fabric unique?
