Clear ACI Interface Fault After Moving APIC

[weylin.piegorsch]

I just repatched my APIC from port 1 on a leaf to port 48 on the same leaf.  I now have a persistent fault on port 1 that I don't know how to clear. I'd prefer to neither acknowledge nor ignore the fault - I'd like to clear it from the fault database.

I tried going to Fabric > Inventory > Pod 1 > [leaf] > Interfaces > Physical Interfaces > Eth1/1, right-clicking and selecting disable, then right-clicking and selecting enable, but the fault remains.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Could you please let us know what is the APIC version that your fabric is running?

Hi,

You can follow the below link that gives information about Fault code F0546

It is highly recommended to raise a TAC case for clearing these faults from the database. When you prefer to neither acknowledge nor ignore the fault.

Thank you @Tarakesh Jetti! That exactly matched my conditions.  And, applying the squelching, the fault no longer appears in my system. Mahalo!

If I may ask a follow-up: is there a way to reset the "last linkflap" (as show in CLI) or "Last Link St Change" (as shown in the GUI)?  I tried "clear counter interface [interface]" but didn't seem to clear that parameter.

Thanks @Tarakesh Jetti .  The squelching solved my problem; and, I appreciate the understanding about the last link-flap.
