7048 Stack Weirdness
We are using two 7048 switches stacked with each 2 CX4 Expansion card with firmware 5.1.1.7.
Everything seems to be working allright, but.. and now its getting wierd... the Slot summary doesnt show one card on one of the switches:
Admin Power Configured Card
Slot Status State State Model ID Pluggable
----- ------ ------- ------- -------------------------------- ---------
1/0 Full Enable Enable PowerConnect 7048 No
1/1 Empty Enable Enable Yes
1/2 Full Enable Enable CX4 Card Yes
2/0 Full Enable Enable PowerConnect 7048 No
2/1 Full Enable Enable CX4 Card Yes
2/2 Full Enable Enable CX4 Card Yes
Also the show switch stack-ports is missing the installed link, we are missing the Te1/1/1 and the Te1/1/2:
console#show switch stack-ports
Configured Running
Stack Stack Link Link
Interface Mode Mode Status Speed (Gb/s)
---------------- ---------- ---------- ------------ ------------
Te1/2/1 Stack Stack Link Up 16
Te1/2/2 Stack Stack Link Up 16
Te2/1/1 Stack Stack Link Up 16
Te2/1/2 Stack Stack Link Up 16
Te2/2/1 Stack Stack Link Up 16
Te2/2/2 Stack Stack Link Up 16
now for thewierdness, a show switch stack-ports diag shows the following:
console#show switch stack-ports diag

It does show statistics on the not recognised installed module..... in the webpage it is shown as :
So, what to do now?. is it safe to re-insert the CX4 card and if so, is it hot plugable?. And how is it possible that there is going traffic through that card while it doesnt recognizes it...

Re-insterting the CX4 Card didnt resolved the problem. The strange behaviour came back. The loggings show that the stack came back, but it didnt see the CX4 cards.. very wierd.
We replaced the card (hot plug) and that resolved the issue. We will see if this card in another 7048 will give the same behavior.
