PORT System Messages
PORT-1003
Message <timestamp>, [PORT-1003], <sequence-number>,, WARNING, <system-name>, Port <port
number>
Faulted because of many Link Failures
Probable Cause Indicates that the specified port is now disabled because the link on this port had multiple failures
that exceed an internally set threshold on the port. This problem is typically related to hardware.
Recommended
Action
Check and replace (if necessary) the hardware attached to both ends of the specified port number,
including:
• the media (SFPs)
• the cable (fiber optic or copper ISL)
• the attached devices
When finished checking the hardware, perform portEnable to reenable the port.
Severity WARNING
PORT-1004
Message <timestamp>, [PORT-1004], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, Port <port
number>
could not be enabled because it is disabled due to long distance.
Probable Cause Indicates that the specified port could not be enabled because other ports in the same port group
have used up the buffers available for this port group. This happens when other ports were
configured to be long distance.
Recommended
Action
To enable this port, reconfigure the other E_Ports so they are not long distance or change the other
E_Ports so they are not E_Ports. This will free some buffers and allow this port to be enabled.
