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 Action
No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the end-user
installation. A low number of link loss errors means that the switch is functioning normally.
Severity
INFO
FW-1162
Message
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 Action
Check both ends of your cable connection. Verify that the cable and 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
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 Action
No action is required. Respond to this message as is appropriate to the particular policy of the end-user
