Description : unable to communicate the private ip going
through a switch
Server : RAC cluster
OS : LINUX
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1.check the network status
#ethtool eth1 , eth2
#ifconfig –a eth1 eth2
Found both are
configured for bond1
2. #cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1
And both are showing down
And both are showing down
3.Tried to up the NIC
#Ifup eth1
#Ifupeth2
Still the issue same and found the Speed, Duplex, Link
detection parameters are showing abnormal
Tried to change the link speed
#cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
#ethtool -s eth5 speed 100 duplex full
unable to change the link speed .
Now confirmed some thing went wrong on physical connectivity
and network
4. Network team initially confirms the switch configuration good
5. Now Datacenter team came to picture and below is the
action plan
6.Initial update from hands and feet (all physical ports are
up and light)
- i will down the eth1 and eth5 NIC from OS end (please cehck the connection status )
- if still issue same , please plug out and replug the cables and check the connectivity (to test the cable )
7.Above both cases no progress and status is remaining same
8. Now we have found a free port on the server and tried to connect the eth1 cable to free port and
now the port is up but not able to ping .
9.So concluded that the ports are failed on the server end
here is another question we have 4 ports on the server 2 are working and 2 are
failed
#lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet'

And unable to change the speed aswell.
10.Now Network team check the switch ports and found the port
speed
mismatch between server and switch, the switch port was changed to auto
negotiate and that fixed the issue
Thanks for sharing good stuff .
