If a Logged-In LED is flashing, do the following:
1.
Inspect the cable connecting the port to another switch or to a device. Is the
cable connected and in good operating condition?
cable connected and in good operating condition?
■
Yes - Continue.
■
No - Make necessary corrections or replace the cable.
2.
Inspect the switch or device to which the port is connected. Is the switch or
device operating properly?
device operating properly?
■
Yes - Continue.
■
No - Make necessary corrections. If the problem remains, continue.
3.
Replace the SFP. Does this correct the problem?
■
Yes - Diagnosis complete.
■
No - Continue.
4.
Inspect the switches in the fabric for domain ID, timeout value, or conflicting
zone name problems. Do any of these conditions exist?
zone name problems. Do any of these conditions exist?
■
Yes - Reconfigure the switches as needed to eliminate the problem.

Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the
conflicting zones so that their membership is the same.
The conflicting zones have the same name, but different
membership. Finally, take the affected ports offline then
back online to restore the inter-switch links.
