Issue

  • Ifgrp's physical member port link flapping:
[Node1: intr: net.ifgrp.lacp.link.inactive:error]: ifgrp a0a, port e0f has transitioned to an inactive state. The interface group is in a degraded state.
[Node1: intr: net.ifgrp.lacp.link.active:error]: ifgrp a0a, port e0f has transitioned to an active state.
  • Ifgrp operation is in a degraded state:
[Node1: vifmgr: vifmgr.port.monitor.passed:notice]: The "link_flapping" health check for port a0a (node Node1) has passed.
[Node1: vifmgr: vifmgr.port.monitor.failed:error]: The "link_flapping" health check for port a0a (node Node1) has failed. The port is operating in a degraded state.
  • Switch configuration:
