• Network switch replacement
• X1149A: 2p 10G Base-T Ethernet HBA

Issue

• After replacing the network switch, the one of the network port does not come up.
• The network port ifgrp show command shows the e3a port as down.

::> network port ifgrp show -instance

                 Node: node-01

 Interface Group Name: a1a

Distribution Function: ip

       Create Policy: multimode_lacp

          MAC Address: d2:39:ea:36:2f:a4

   Port Participation: partial

        Network Ports: e3a, e4a, e4b

             Up Ports: e4a, e4b

           Down Ports: e3a

 

• The port status in the EMS log is shown as down after a netif.uncorEccError:EMERGENCY error occurs.

• Swapping the network cable and changing the connected port on the other end indicates that the issue persists on a specific port.
