rc2k8x1000BaseC 8 port fiber blade running software p80a3710.img. We have a
few times now seen ports just go out of service. Nothing indicating that
the port is dead other then no activity to far end. Swapping GBIC's
sometimes works, swapping ports always seems to work. I have tried disabling
and enabling the ports but I usually have to insert into a vacant slot
before I can get the communications active again. I am wondering if anyone
else has seen this sort of issue?

Thanks again,

John Mitchell

I have seen where the switch will take a port offline that has seen
excessive multicast traffic. Log messesages reflected this circumstance
though.
