Here it showing lan 2 & 3 is up instead of down and lan 0 &  1 is missing.

Kindly let us know how we can fix it , what is the causing as lan shows down and miss match

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Looks like lan2 and lan3 are really down or have at least no link. This is the same dual ported card.

If you see something like this:

lan900   LAN_MONITOR LB_HS     1 Gbps Full Duplex   0,2*

the -> * <- mens there is a problem (lan2 in this case).

Check

# nwmgr -g -v -c lan2

and compare to let's say

# nwmgr -g -v -c lan0

However, both aggregates have a problem.

Active Port(s) = 0
   Ready Port(s) =  -
   Not Ready Port(s) = 2
   Connected Port(s) =  -

Check link status and port configuration at the switch side.
