side is incorrectly displayed by nwmgr and lanadmin. For example, after a cable disconnect,
the status is incorrectly reported as UP instead of DOWN.
Port unavailable, queues fail to initialize on Superdome
While doing stress testing with heavy traffic along with periodic port resets, olrad, and
ifconfig plumb/unplumb, the port might be unable to initialize the maximum number of
