Checklist
Check off
Check the physical media to ensure there are no damaged parts.
Verify that the SFP (small form-factor pluggable) devices in use are those authorized by
Cisco and that they are not faulty.
Verify that you have enabled the port by right-clicking the port in Device Manager and
selecting
enable
or by using the
no shut
CLI command.
Right-click the port in Device Manager or use the
show interface CLI
command to verify
the state of the interface. Refer to
Table 8-1
for reasons why a port may be in a down
operational state.
Verify that you if you have one host-optimized port configured as an ISL, you have not
connected to the other three ports in the port group.
Verify that no ports on a Generation 2 module are out of service.
