Symptoms

Trunk down and interface's status is 'uninit' and log files indicate mcpd restarted.

Impact

Failover as a result of mcpd restart. Trunks are unable to pass traffic. The interface that report the status 'uninit' are able to pass traffic after mcpd and related services restart; the message is cosmetic only.

Conditions

This occurs upon mcpd restart on 2000/4000 series platform.

Workaround

Run the command: tmsh restart sys service pfmand. The restart of pfmand helps update the interface status, which in turn helps update the trunk status.

Fix Information

Trunk now comes up without error messages after mcpd restarts on 2000/4000 series platforms.
