Port State Blocking, FastIron SX 800

Hi all--

I've got an FI-SX 800 with a FI-2XGMR4 PREM and a couple of FI-42XGs, and I
can't seem to get the ports on the 2XGs to come up. There's nothing
connected to the box at all. Reloads and power downs keep repeating a port
state BLOCKING. Can't figure out why. Console output is below. Anyone got
any advice?

Re: Port State Blocking, FastIron SX 800 [In reply to]

Upgrading to 5.1.00b should fix this problem.

Closed defects in IronWare R05.1.00b for the FastIron X Series Switches

106289 Critical Summary: 10 GbE ports may not link up.

Symptom: No link on 10 GbE ports

Probability: Medium

Feature: System

Function: System

Re: Port State Blocking, FastIron SX 800 [In reply to]

Didn't even know there was a 5100b. Unfortunately, I tried it and got the
same result. Port state BLOCKING. Weirder still, the management port still
immediately goes to FORWARDING, even if nothing's connected. Anyone
experience that?

I tried downgrading to 4.2.00b, too, both SXS and SXR. Neither worked.
Same blocking/forwarding issues. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Crisis averted. A few more reboots and this thing started to behave. Thanks

s/averted/postponed/ :-)

I've had all sorts of bizarre issues with XG optics in FI-SX's - the
2XG management modules, linking to various other bits of Foundry kit.
We've had link but no traffic; link but some traffic; no link lights
but UP reported in show int..

Also recently had a problem where the management card CPU load was
being driven up by ... wait for it ... a high number of spurious
interrupts from the PSUs! Took 'em a long time to find that one.
They're quality switches, to be sure! Brocade have our PSUs in for
analysis at the moment.

Thankfully we limit our use of FI-SX switches around the network.

I'm interested to know how many other people are closely monitoring
their Foundry/Brocade switches, and possibly seeing occasional various
oddities. Do you monitor and graph your CPU load, memory usage, error
rates, and so on? Do you watch and analyse your syslogs and snmp
traps?

(I should point out that the network I'm working on comprises mainly
RX-4 to -16 switches, with a few SXs doing some of the edge work.)
