Knowledge Article: ID B0002201D: Standby MM internal ethernet switch failed.

Description

Ethernet port 0 on the standby advanced management module has failed.

Causes

The standby management module performs the built-in self test (BIST) that checks the ethernet switch register. If the test results in an error, the test fails.

Implications

The failure generates this event.

Resolutions

Perform these steps:

  1. Check the Ethernet connection from the standby advanced management module (the one without the active light at the back of the chassis) to ensure that the Ethernet connection is functional.
  2. Make sure the Ethernet cable is properly seated at both ends.
  3. Try another Ethernet cable.
  4. Make sure the Ethernet switch at the other end is active and working (try another port or other switch).
  5. Generate a manual call home using Service Advisor.
