Port is down, reason:notconnect(connected), used by:Discovery

Hello,

 

We have a ACI fabric running 1.1.1o. We have a FEX connected and applied a link policy for the 102/1/41-48 to be fixed 100Mb. 

Most ports are in use as you can see in the output below. 

 

LEAF2# show interface ethernet 102/1/41-58 brief 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ethernet      VLAN    Type Mode    Status Reason                   Speed     Port
Interface                                                                    Ch # 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eth102/1/41   65      eth  trunk   up     none                     100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/42   84      eth  trunk   up     none                     100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/43   0       eth  trunk   down   link-failure             100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/44   82      eth  trunk   up     none                     100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/45   82      eth  trunk   up     none                     100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/46   82      eth  trunk   up     none                     100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/47   0       eth  trunk   down   link-failure             100(D)    -- 
Eth102/1/48   76      eth  trunk   up     none                     100(D)    -- 

 

Ports Eth102/1/43 and Port Eth102/1/47 are both not part of an EPG. Port Eth102/1/47 has been used in an EPG before, port Eth102/1/43 is still unused.

If we look in the fault section in the APIC there is a warning 

"topology/pod-1/node-102/sys/phys-[eth102/1/47]/phys
Port is down, reason:notconnect(connected), used by:Discovery"

We don't get the same warning for interface  Eth102/1/43, but the port is in the same state. Is this normal behavior?

It looks like the warning only appears after you use a interface once and then you have to manually disable it to not affect the Fabric Health anymore. Any suggestions? 

thanks!
