Lost connection to cisco 3020 mgmt interface

[JeffWardlaw]

I'm in the process of reconfiguring 2 of the 4 3020s in my c7000. However, I can only access 1 of the 4 via ip (telnet/http).

It seems like there's an issue between the interconnect module (fa0) and the OA port. However, nothing in OA or on the switches themselves indicate an error condition. The only symptom so far is that I cannot access the three switches via ip (telnet or http). I can access at least one of the misbehaving switches via the console port. I've also telnetted into the OA, to see if anything there points to a resolvable condition, but found nothing.

So far, hp support has been unhelpful. I'm leaning towards rebooting the switches, see if that resolves the issue.

Any hints appreciated.

Additionally, I cannot ping the misbehaving switch(es) from the OA.

Resolved: reset the fa0 interfaces via console session. shut/no shut on fa0 on each switch, they all came back.

Still don't know why they did this in the first place, though.
