Information About Interfaces

Table 2-4	Reason Codes for Nonoperational States

			Applicable
Reason Code (long version)		Description	Modes

Link failure or not connected		The physical layer link is not operational.	All

SFP not present		The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware is not
		plugged in.

Initializing		The physical layer link is operational and the protocol
		initialization is in progress.

Reconfigure fabric in progress		The fabric is currently being reconfigured.

Offline		The Cisco NX-OS software waits for the specified
		R_A_TOV time before retrying initialization.

Inactive		The interface VSAN is deleted or is in a suspended
		state.
		To make the interface operational, assign that port to a
		configured and active VSAN.

Hardware failure		A hardware failure is detected.

Error disabled		Error conditions require administrative attention.
		Interfaces may be error-disabled for various reasons.
		For example:
		• Configuration failure.
		• Incompatible buffer-to-buffer credit configuration.
		To make the interface operational, you must first fix the
		error conditions causing this state; and next,
		administratively shut down or enable the interface.

FC redirect failure		A port is isolated because a Fibre Channel redirect is
		unable to program routes.

No port activation license		A port is not active because it does not have a port
available		license.

SDM failure		A port is isolated because SDM is unable to program
		routes.
