Switching

Hello all

I do not have much experience working with juniper and I'm having issues with one ex 4300, it is suposse that ex4300 will replace a cisco switch that is on production now, but when I tried to do the change there are several interfaces that don't not come up.  I think it is a mismatch issue between the configurations. As troubleshoot I ereased the speed and full duplex and I set the interfeces with negotiation-auto but did not work, also I erased the port security but not success. Any idea of what is the cause of this negotiation failed or incomplete.

Also I was looking for a command to monitor or debug the messages of the interfaces without lucky so I will realy appreciate if you can share how can I monitor the interface

Best regards

If you are talking about simply getting link up on a physical port, typically you would set the port to the expectation of the client as you seem to have done.  Patience is also a key in explict port settings they can take some time to come up in some cases.

With setting explicit speed and duplex you should also set the no-autonegotiation parameter to insure the port waits for the device to fully link up without falling back to autonegotiation.

Removing the link speed and duplex with no settings should turn on gig autonegotiation by default.

You can see messages on the port status changes in the messages log.

You will need to know the ifIndex for the port you are testing which you can see in

Hi Folks,

Please find some REAL GOOD pointers on this,

Troubleshooting: 10-Gigabit Ethernet Port Stuck in Down State

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-ethernet-port-stuck-in-down-state.html

Below are the steps, I would recommend for troubleshooting:

1. Make sure the correct fiber cables are being used between the two segments (MM or SM),

2. Make sure to test the fiber the link running between the two segment using devices such as OTDR, to verify there is no significant amount of loss or cable breaks.

3. Verify transceiver properties:

4. Check for the output of the Receiver signal average optical power, make sure the value is higher than 0 mW. Value of 0 indicates the receiving end is not receiving any optical signal from the remote end.

5. Make sure the interface is not Admin disabled

6. Make sure the interfaces is not disabled via STP

7. Make sure the speed/duplex and MTU matches between the corresponding segments

8. Make sure if there are any intermediary network devices such as media converters in between the segments. This one can be tricky.

9. Check if there are any incrementing errors on the feed interfaces:

    FIFO errors                              0                0

    Output packet error count                                 0

10. Try moving the existing fiber pair to a new pair if thats a possibility.

11. Make sure to change optical transceiver to eliminate problems with transceiver (which is a rare issue, but could be possible).

Hope this helps!!
