- Review the SFP Tx and Rx power on the affected switch port and ensure that they are within the recommended range.
- Inspect the device attached to the affected switch port including hardware checks as well as workload and and address the slow response from the end device side.
- Check for any such physical layer issues observed on the port.
- In case of major disruption caused by this, as a workaround disable the port until the issue is resolved.
