HARDWARE STATUS OF A PORT

[abhijit_roy]

Hi All, I am new here, just willing to know is there any way to know a particular port is going in bad state in respect of hardware, or you can say the port is healthy or not, my switch is X440G2-48p-10G4, many thanks in advance.

Hi,

If it’s copper ports you can try to check Tx/Rx error statistics (EXOS: show port <..> txerrors, show port <..> rxerrors), you may find how many errors of different types are there. Please see EXOS Command Reference Guide or EXOS User Guide for more details on these commands: https://www.extremenetworks.com/support/documentation/extremexos-31-1/

Those may, however, not necessarily tell you if its the switch port itself that has issues, or is it the cable for example.

Hope that helps,

Tomasz
