Description

The article explains the reasons for  directly connected interfaces not able to ping each other

Symptoms

  • The directly  connected interfaces will not be able to ping each other.
  • The two device can see each other lldp but can't ping
  • No arp is learned on the directly connected interfaces  
  • SFP is seen from the PFE level 
  • Diagnostics  of optics for the affected interfaces does not have any values , all values and threshold are set to 0 .

Solution

  • Remove and insert the optics and check if we are seeing transmit and receive  power on the affected interfaces 
  • Replace the optics and check if we can see the the transmit and receive power are seen and check if we can ping the other end
  • If replacing optics and changing cables doesn't  help, reboot  the device to clear the issue
  • If issue is not resolved, reach out to JTAC for further troubleshooting
