We've had some link errors on a long-run fibre from rack D5 to E4 for cloud services. Stats from the QSFP+ modules look ok (temperature, light levels) but still I think we need to swap these out. Just been two spikes this week but it's caused considerable disturbance for traffic in the cloud racks:
Today the actual link failed for a few minutes in the middle of this burst of errors:
Nov 21 15:33:36 cloudsw1-d5-eqiad fpc0 Local fault detected on port 65 (et-0/0/52) Nov 21 15:36:01 cloudsw1-d5-eqiad l2cpd[17035]: LLDP_NEIGHBOR_UP: A neighbor has come up for interface et-0/0/52. Now, this interface has 1 neighbor/s .
So we need to get 2 x 40GBase-LR4 QSFP+ modules (like this) and install them at either end of the link.
Traffic has been shifted away from the link so this can happen any time, but ping us first so we can downtime the switches to avoid noise. Thanks!
