    Any best practices to troubleshoot such cases?

    Could this be a firmware issue or misconfiguration on the switch?

    Maybe it's false-postive? Our juniper have uptime of 1000 days without any issues. Can it be just monitoring related?

    Kind regards,

    P

    Hi,

    Is poe working on the ports that are showing this error? If it is i would say it is a false positive. If poe isn't working then there is very little you can do now this platform is EOL. Maybe try a reboot and make sure you are on the latest version either 12.3R12-S21 or 15.1R7-S13

    I checked today what you asked. I inspected port 40, and it is working normally without any issues. Therefore, I think it may be a false positive, as nothing has changed in the platform's configuration. I will check if I can upgrade it to a newer version since it is running in the production environment.
