Issue

  • ONTAP pre-upgrade check warns:

Warning: There are ports in broadcast domain "e0d-88" ipspace "IPspace_APA" that will not be able to host LIFs because those ports cannot communicate with any other port in their broadcast domain.

Action: Use the "network port reachability show" command to identify ports that are not able to communicate with any other ports in their broadcast domain. Either correct the broadcast domain configuration by adjusting the network configuration on the switch the port is wired to or set the field "ignore-health-status" to true on the port. Setting this field to true will not correct the misconfiguration, but will allow the port to host LIFs.

  • Configuration as per network port broadcast-domain show

Example

::> network port broadcast-domain show
IPspace Broadcast                                         Update
