Issue

The following alert is reported in the event logs:

[Node-01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = SwitchIfDead_Alert , Alerting Resource = Cluster-sw2(FOCXXXXXXXX)/Ethernet1/11 raised by monitor ethernet-switch

The health alert shows the following information:

Node::> system health alert show

Node: Node-01

Alert ID: SwitchIfDead_Alert

Resource: Ethernet1/11

Severity: Major

Indication Time: Tue Oct 29 17:19:34 2024

Suppress: false

Acknowledge: false

Probable Cause: The interface

Cluster-sw2(FOCXXXXXXXX)/Ethernet1/11 is up,

but it is not passing unicast traffic.

Possible Effect: The lack of transmit or receive traffic reported by

the switch can indicate issues with port-level or

switch-level data packet forwarding.

Corrective Actions: 1) Check interface counters and neighbor discovery information to verify the port's activity.

2) Check cluster and switch health status.
