Interface Nonoperational Reason Codes
If the administrative state for an interface is up and the operational state is down, the reason code differs
based on the nonoperational reason code as described in Table B-1.
Table B-1 Reason Codes for Nonoperational States
Reason Code Description
Applicable
Modes
Link failure or not connected 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 Cisco MDS SAN-OS 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 shutdown or enable the interface.
