E_Port Isolation

ALogged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. E_Port isolation can be caused by the following:

„Security failure

„FL_Port is connected to another switch

„Conflicting domain IDs

„Conflicting timeout values

„Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets

Review the event browser and do the following to diagnose and correct an isolated E_Port:

1.Does the event browser show an alarm about an invalid attach on the affected port?

„Yes - Review the ISL group in the active security set to ensure that the membership includes the necessary ports and that the secrets on all switches are correct.

„No - Continue.

2.Does the event browser show a repeating alarm about an unsupported E_Port command on the affected port?

„Yes - The port is configured as an FL_Port and connected to another switch. Correct the port connection or the port type.

„No - Continue.

3.Display the fabric domain IDs using the Show Domains command. Are all domain IDs in the fabric unique?

„Yes - Continue.

„No - Correct the domain IDs on the offending switches using the Set Config Switch command. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.
