•
Verify that the Brocade device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.
•
Verify that the port has not been disabled by a configuration change. You can use the CLI. If you have configured an IP address
on the device, you also can use Brocade Network Advisor.
•
Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:
–
For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.
–
For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the receive port on the connected
device, and that the receive port on device is connected to the transmit port on the connected device.
•
For copper ports, you can test the cable using Virtual Cable Testing. For more information, refer to the chapter
Hardware
Component Monitoring
in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Configuration Guide.
•
If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.
Support for digital optical monitoring
You can configure your Brocade device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by specified ports. When this
feature is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal power levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports.
Console messages and syslog messages are sent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the XFP or SFP
manufacturer’s recommended thresholds. For details about this feature and how to configure it, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch
Administration Configuration Guide.
