TenGigabitEthernet 1/12 - Error State
• You may connect two PEs to a parent C9010 but only provision one PE with cascade ports. In this case, only the PE connected to the
lowest numbered cascade port comes online. In the following example, PE 10 is provisioned with cascade ports 1/0, 8, and 12.
However, only cascade ports 1/0 and 1/12 are cabled to PE 10; port 1/8 is cabled to a different PE. As a result, only PE 10 comes online
becomes it is connected to the lowest numbered cascade port: port 1/0. Port 1/8 is placed in an error state and the PE to which it
connects does not come online.
