Hi,
we have Nexus 7k with two N7K-SUP2 and one 1/10 Gbps Ethernet Module (N7K-F248XP-25), version 6.1(2)
The problem is that suddenly a port 1000base-SX on N7K-F248XP-25 changed state to down and we have no idea how to make it work again.
We changed SFP, tried "shut/ no shut" and "no switchport", tried to connect to a different switch. All without any results, the port is still down.
We didn't try resetting the module or upgrading the nxos yet ...
Did anybody face a similar issue ? Maybe there is something else we should perform ?
Thanks and happy New Year!

Hi Ryszard,
Is the log showing anything error message before it went down? Please post the show interface ether x/y and show logging from the device. Is it only for that port or multiple ports having this issue?
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Ryszard,
I strongly suspect some layer 1 issue here. You have mentioned that you changed the SFP and tried to flap and change the configs as well which is strange. What does " sh inter eth 3/12 capabilities " and "show interface eth3/12 trans details" show for working and not working port? Do you see any difference in power levels between working and not working port? Bettter to open up a TAC case and get more details.
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
there is no differences for working and not-working port regarding capabilities:
Model: N7K-F248XP-25
Type (SFP capable): 1000base-SX
Speed: 1000,10000
Duplex: full
Trunk encap. type: 802.1Q
FabricPath capable: yes
Channel: yes
Broadcast suppression: percentage(0-100)
Flowcontrol: rx-(off/on/desired),tx-(off/on/desired)
Rate mode: dedicated
Port mode: Routed,Switched
QOS scheduling: rx-(8q4t),tx-(3p5q1t)
CoS rewrite: yes
ToS rewrite: yes
SPAN: yes
UDLD: yes
MDIX: no
TDR capable: no
Link Debounce: yes
Link Debounce Time: yes
FEX Fabric: yes
dot1Q-tunnel mode: yes
Pvlan Trunk capable: yes
Port Group Members: 9-12
EEE (efficient-eth): no
PFC capable: yes
Power levels for no-working and for working port:
Tx Power -5.07 dBm -5.10 dBm
Rx Power -7.37 dBm -6.07 dBm
Maybe this is a module hardware problem after all ...

Hi Ryszard,
Could be a hardware issue. But unless we do a fault analysis we might not be able to confirm for sure. Get in touch with TAC for additional assistance.
Thanks,
Maduh

Ok two things. First tell us the " show module " output and run som hardware disgnostics on the module.
Second thing is what is the device connected to the other end? Please try hard-coding the speed to 1G on the other end device. I have seen this kind of issue where you have to hard-code the speed to 1G on the networking devices to make it work specially in routers.
Try this and let us know.
Cheers,

Hi Amit,
show module command:

On the other end normally was connected IPS McAfee IntruShield, but we tried also connect to Catalyst 3550 (GBIC GE port).
What hardware diagnostics do you mean ? We cannot afford to do any disruptive tests.
thanks

Please have a look at the below link, it should help you.
Yes, the diagnostics are disruptive but system will warn you for sure. Dont be in hurry to press enter :-)
Try to do the complete diagnostic test for specified port that is failing.

Hi Amit,
the link went up when I configured "speed nonegotiate" on the cat.3550 1G port.
Should I consider using this option as a good practice when connecting any device via 1G to Nexus ?
thanks
