5.1
Resolving 10GbE PTM Power Problems
Make sure the system is powered on.
Take out the 10GbE PTM, wait for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
5.2
Resolving Link Connectivity Problems
1.
Check that external cables and/or optical modules are properly inserted.
2.
Make sure the cables/modules are supported by the 10GbE PTM.
3.
Log in to 10GbE PTM CLI and run the “show port link” command. Check the status of the
downlink and uplink in the relevant port – see
Section 3.5.1
for details.
a.
If a blade is inserted but not recognized by the 10GbE PTM – restart the network device in the blade and
check again. Reboot the blade if the problem is not resolved.
b.
If an Ethernet NIC or switch is connected to an 10GbE PTM external port but the link is down for the
10GbE PTM external port – check cables/modules connectivity in the external device and reboot the exter-
nal device if not resolved.
If none of the above resolves the issue – reboot the 10GbE PTM through the CMC CLI using the
following command:
