Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Networking
  • L2 port reachability

Issue

  • Network port is showing in degraded state
    • If the broadcast domain does not host any LIFs, the "degraded" status is cosmetic and has no negative effects
    • If the broadcast domain has a degraded port, and the port has a LIF, the degraded port cannot host the LIF during migration

example

::> network port show -health
                          Health
Node       Port      Link Status   Degraded Reasons
--------   --------- ---- -------- -----------------------
node1
           e0a       up   healthy  -
           e0b       up   healthy  -

node2
           e0a       up   healthy  -
           e0b       up   degraded l2_reachability
