Is it a 10G (1 port) or 1G (2 port) OSA card? 10G cards won't negotiate speed, from what I've seen.

Hi

The OSA port is connected with working cable LC-LC MM fibre to the 1g
switch. From the Cisco switch it has been set as auto negotiate to yes.

Still from the mainframe the port doesn't show up the LED indication at
all. I tried toggling standby/online but still no luck. Ran port
diagnostics too with no error.


Not sure where to look. Has anyone faced a similar issue and have any idea
on what needs to be done?

What's your question?
Link monitor means no physical connection to the switch, which means you
card will not work.
Reason? A lot of, including broken cable, improper cable (MM instead of
SM and vice versa), bad connection (Tx to Tx...), disabled port on the
switch...

Hello

I apologize for my ignorance.

I was looking for the status of one of our OSA card under OSA advanced
facilities under HMC. For one of their PCHPID belonging to OSA shows the
port status as 'LINK MONITOR'

When I checked with my network team if their switch sees the MAC address
of
my OSA port but they don't see it.

  From the physical cabling perspective what do I need to do?
