Error Message ETHPORT-5-IF_DOWN_TCP_KEEP_ALIVE_EXPIRED: Interface [chars] is
down(TCP conn. closed - Keep alive expired).
Explanation
The TCP session to the FCIP peer was closed due to loss of the TCP keepalive.
Recommended Action This may be due to loss of IP connectivity. Enter the show interface and show
ip route CLI commands to provide the IP address of the peer and the route used to connect to this
FCIP peer. Enter traceroute [ipaddr] to check the connectivity to the peer. You can alternatively use
Fabric Manager and/or Device Manager instead of the command line method.
Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(2a).
