Hi

I've a problem with both MDS 9140. The fc interface goes down and don't go up when I reboot a device connected to them with a fiber. To solved the problem I need to remove the gbic and plug it back again. I use the following version of software

Software

BIOS: version 1.0.8

loader: version 1.1(2)

kickstart: version 1.2(1a)

system: version 1.2(1a)

Hi Fabrice,

Could you please open a TAC Service Request(case) for this problem? {Please mention MDS 9140 in the title}

Thanks.

It is probably a software defect where if a port is up for over 248 days, Once link is lost, it will not come back w/o a shut/no shut or manual intervention as you describe. This issue is resolved in the 1.3.4b and above code. For a 91xx, this would be a disruptive upgrade. Or, simply issue a shut/no shut on an affected port and you'll be good for another 248 days.
