Wireless Access

We have a strange issue on two 7210 controllers where we have a fibre sfp in port 0/0/0 connecting to a switch. The connections from port 0/0/0 on both controllers work fine. We want to use the copper port 0/0/0 for a different purpose so want to move the fibre connection to sfp port 0/0/5 which is free on both controllers. in both cases though the connection will not come up using port 0/0/5. We see this message in the log:

Oct 12 13:13:00 2023  fpapps[3632]: <399816> <3972> <ERRS> |fpapps|  hapiPortLinkStatus: Speed unknown for port 0/0/5

The port is configured as an access port and the speed and duplex settings cannot be altered as it is an sfp port. If we move the connection back to port 0/0/0 it works fine. We have also tried port 0/0/4 and get the same issue.

Other details are:

Have you tried with an Aruba branded SFP module?  Does the transceiver get recognized when you insert into G0/0/4 or G0/0/5?  The module you are using just may not work in the SFP+ ports.

Yes the transceiver is recognised. We don't have any Aruba branded ones but are using the same Cisco ones in other SFP+ ports.

I have just noticed though that the port configurations are not shown in the CLI running config on our controllers that are running OS 8.10.0.6. They are shown however on our controllers that are running 8.6.0.21 so maybe that is part of the problem?

8.10 controller:

[MDC] #show running-config | begin 0/0/0
Building Configuration...
 [MDC] #

8.6 Controller:

 [MDC] *#show running-config | begin 0/0/0
Building Configuration...
interface gigabitethernet 0/0/0
    description "GE0/0/0"
    trusted
