Port Status Down
event for the node like the following example
- Unified Manager will not report
Port Status Down
events for ports when the link status is down - This article explains how to prevent Unified Manager from reporting
Port Status Down
event for network ports that are intentionally disconnected/unused by disabling the port in ONTAP
Procedure
- Enable advanced mode on ONTAP CLI
set advanced
- Confirm the current "up-admin" property for the port
network port show -node -port -fields link, up-admin
Example: Cluster::*> network port show -node Node-01 -port e0b -fields link, up-admin
node port link up-admin
-------- ---- ---- --------
Node-01 e0b down true
- Change "up-admin" to false for the port.
network port modify -node -port -up-admin false
- Confirm the port is administratively disabled.
network port show -node -port -fields link, up-admin
- To use/connect the port in the future, it can be re-enabled by setting
-up-admin true
network port modify -node -port -up-admin true
