    Well... ixgbe is the Intel Gb ethernet driver...

     

    NIC Link is Down implies there's no link (ethernet signal) on that port. Is this interface flapping?

    Hi Hamish,

     

    Thanks for your response.

     

    Yes, am frequently receiving the NIC Link down alert. But am not sure about the interface flapping. Please let me know where can i check the logs using "tmos" mode.

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Regards,

     

    Cyril.

    Device will send all the logs to separate server which will throw alerts that are generated by LTM.
