McDATA Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Event Code: 081
Message: Invalid attachment.
Severity: Informational.
Explanation: A switch port recognized an incompatibility with the attached fabric element or device and isolated the port. An
isolated port does not transmit Class 2, Class 3, or Class F traffic. Refer to the event data for the reason.
Action: Action depends on the reason specified in the event data.
Event Data: The first byte of event data (byte 0) specifies the port number. The fifth byte (byte 4) specifies the isolation reason
as follows:
1 = Unknown - Isolation reason is unknown, but probably caused by failure of a device attached to the switch
through an E_Port connection. Fault isolate the failed device or contact support personnel to report the problem.
2 = ISL connection not allowed - The port connection conflicts with the configured port type. Change the port
type to F_Port if the port is cabled to a device, or E_Port if the port is cabled to a fabric element to form an ISL.
3 = Incompatible switch - The switch returned a Process ELP Reject - Unable to Process reason code because
the attached fabric element is not compatible. Set the switch operating mode to McDATA Fabric 1.0 if connected
to a McDATA product. Set the switch operating mode to Open Fabric 1.0 if connected to an open-fabric compliant
product manufactured by a different vendor.
4 = Incompatible switch - The switch returned a Process ELP Reject - Invalid Revision Level reason code
because the attached fabric element is not compatible. Set the switch operating mode to McDATA Fabric 1.0 if
connected to a McDATA product. Set the switch operating mode to Open Fabric 1.0 if connected to an
open-fabric compliant product manufactured by a different vendor.
5 = Loopback plug connected - A loopback plug is connected to the port with no diagnostic test running.
Remove the loopback plug.
6 = N_Port connection not allowed - The switch is connected to a fabric element through a port configured as
an F_port. Change the port type to E_Port.
7 = Non-McDATA switch at other end - The attached fabric element is not a McDATA product. Set the switch
operating mode to Open Fabric 1.0 if connected to an open-fabric compliant product manufactured by a different
vendor.
A = Unauthorized port binding WWN - The device WWN or nickname used to configure port binding for this
port is not valid. At the Configure Ports dialog box, reconfigure the port with the WWN or nickname authorized for
the attached device.
B = Unresponsive node - The attached node did not respond, resulting in a G_Port ELP timeout. Check the
status of the attached device and clean the link’s fiber-optic components (cable and connectors). If the problem
persists, contact support personnel to report the problem.
