Description

Every time an optic is removed the system doesn't see the new optic in that port. Tried New Optics with hard loops and none of the open ports see the new Optics or Loop.

Symptoms

<timestamp> <hostname> : %PFE-3: fpc0 cmic_vsc8248_mpcs_mdio_rd: CMIC(0/0): error reading PHY reg: paddr 0x3, devaddr 0x1f, regaddr 0x8000, MPCS idx 0, ctlr 0, grp 0 

<timestamp> <hostname> : %PFE-3: fpc0 vsc8248_reg_read: Error in vsc8248 register read  

<timestamp> <hostname> : %PFE-3: fpc0 Failed in function cmic_vsc8248_read_sfp_mirrored_regs 

 

Solution

Looked at the error logs. These are an indicator of a hardware issue (there is an error when trying to read register through MDIO).

Need to replace faulty FPC.
