Issue
- Switch port displays transceiver is not present
Example:
Switch-A1# sh int Eth1/16 transceiver details
Ethernet1/16
transceiver is not present
- Disabing/Enabling the affected port and setting port speed to fixed value do not fix the issue
- Rebooting connected device (e.g. storage node or switch) does not resolve the issue
- After swapping SFP/cable with known-good components, the port remains down
Example:

Eth1/3 101 eth trunk down Link not connected 100G(D) --
Eth1/4 101 eth trunk up none 100G(D) --
- The device connected to the affected switch port (e.g. storage node or switch port) comes online when connected to a different switch port
