PORT System Messages
PORT-1003
Message
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the specified port is now disabled because the link on this port had multiple failures that
exceed an internally set threshold on the port. This problem is typically related to hardware.
Recommended
Action
Check and replace (if necessary) the hardware attached to both ends of the specified port number,
including:
• the media (SFPs)
• the cable (fiber optic or copper ISL)
• the attached devices
When finished checking the hardware, perform portEnable to reenable the port.
Severity WAR NIN G
PORT-1004
Message
Probable
Cause
Indicates that the specified port could not be enabled because other ports in the same port group have
used up the buffers available for this port group. This happens when other ports were configured to be
long distance.
Recommended
Action
To enable this port, reconfigure the other E_Ports so they are not long distance or change the other
E_Ports so they are not E_Ports. This will free some buffers and allow this port to be enabled.
