ONTAP 9 Manuals ( CA08871-402 )

ok

The port has layer 2 reachability to its assigned broadcast domain.
If the reachability-status is "ok", but there are "unexpected ports", consider merging one or more broadcast domains. For more information, see the following Unexpected ports row.

If the reachability-status is "ok", but there are "unreachable ports", consider splitting one or more broadcast domains. For more information, see the following Unreachable ports row.

If the reachability-status is "ok", and there are no unexpected or unreachable ports, your configuration is correct.

Unexpected ports

The port has layer 2 reachability to its assigned broadcast domain; however, it also has layer 2 reachability to at least one other broadcast domain.

Examine the physical connectivity and switch configuration to determine if it is incorrect or if the port’s assigned broadcast domain needs to be merged with one or more broadcast domains.

For more information, see Merge broadcast domains.

Unreachable ports

If a single broadcast domain has become partitioned into two different reachability sets, you can split a broadcast domain to synchronize the ONTAP configuration with the physical network topology.

Typically, the list of unreachable ports defines the set of ports that should be split into another broadcast domain after you have verified that the physical and switch configuration is accurate.

For more information, see Split broadcast domains.

misconfigured-reachability

The port does not have layer 2 reachability to its assigned broadcast domain; however, the port does have layer 2 reachability to a different broadcast domain.

You can repair the port reachability. When you run the following command, the system will assign the port to the broadcast domain to which it has reachability:

network port reachability repair -node -port
For more information, see Repair port reachability.

no-reachability

The port does not have layer 2 reachability to any existing broadcast domain.

You can repair the port reachability. When you run the following command, the system will assign the port to a new automatically created broadcast domain in the Default IPspace:

network port reachability repair -node -port
For more information, see Repair port reachability.

multi-domain-reachability

The port has layer 2 reachability to its assigned broadcast domain; however, it also has layer 2 reachability to at least one other broadcast domain.

Examine the physical connectivity and switch configuration to determine if it is incorrect or if the port’s assigned broadcast domain needs to be merged with one or more broadcast domains.

For more information, see Merge broadcast domains or Repair port reachability.

unknown

If the reachability-status is "unknown", then wait a few minutes and try the command again.
