e0M port link status does not change when removing or connecting a network cable
Applies to
- AFF A400
- FAS 8300, FAS8700
- ONTAP 9.7P1
Issue
- When e0M is up status, removing the network cable from the wrench port doesn't change the link status from "up" to "down"
- Conversely, if there no cable is attached to the wrench port and the port status is "down" and then a network cable is connected , e0M port link status remains "down" -- it does not ever change to "up"
- Node management access can be affected because LIF failover does not occur due to a valid link status change
