Issue

  • Receive the following alert in the EMS log
[Node01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = SwitchIslIfDownWarn_Alert , Alerting Resource = MCCSwitch01(XXXXXXXXXXX)/Ethernet1/16 raised by monitor ethernet-switch
  • Health alert is generated
               Node: Node01
           Alert ID: SwitchIslIfDownWarn_Alert
           Resource: Ethernet1/16
           Severity: Major
    Indication Time: Fri Mar 21 00:40:36 2025
           Suppress: false
        Acknowledge: false
     Probable Cause: The cable attached to the ISL port
                     "MCCSwitch01(XXXXXXXXXXX)/Ethernet1/16" with the
                     description of "MetroCluster ISL Port native speed"
                     might be faulty. For the port-channel, please check
                     each individual link.
    Possible Effect: Inter- or Intra- cluster redundancy might be lost.
 Corrective Actions: 1) Check whether the cable is fully inserted into the interface port on both ends.
                     2) Reconnect the ISL port using another cable. After
                     reconnecting it, verify whether the link of the ISL
                     port is up by executing the commands per the switch
                     configuration guide or by checking whether the Link
                     status LED is on.
  • Switch logs show the port with link not connected
