FSPF experiencing link issues on port in state
().
Message Type
LOG
Severity
INFO
Probable Cause
Indicates that FSPF is experiencing issues with frames on the link leading to unexpected inputs being
sent to the neighbor finite state machine (NBFSM). NBFSM states are as follows:
• 0 - Down
• 1 - Init
• 2 - Database Exchange
• 3 - Database Acknowledge Wait
• 4 - Database Wait
• 5 - Full
If this error occurs repeatedly, then there is a problem running the FSPF exchange and synchronization
protocol between two switches across the identified link.
Recommended
Action
Run the nbrStateShow command to check the neighbor state of the port listed in the message. If it is
Full, then this message can safely be ignored. Otherwise, please check the portStatsShow command to
see if there are errors on the link. If there are errors, consider running the D-Port Diagnostics tests on the
link and/or consider replacing and faulty or bad equipment such as cables or optics.
