I have powered down both switches and checked stack cables connection, but the problem remains.

Make sure the stack cables are secure.

Judging from the error messages, looks like Switch #2 is faulty.

With help of # show switch detail command you can see the status of the stack cable connetivity. Please verify and put output for reference.

Hi Tirumala,

This is the output I got some minuetes ago,

Judging from this latest output, my initial recommendations are still the same:

1.  Have you check to ensure all four cable sockets are firmly secure to each stack port?

2.  Stack member #2 is failing.  You could try a disruptive test if wish.   Command is:  diagnostic start switch 2 test all

WARNING:  This is a DISRUPTIVE test. 

Post the output to the command "sh diagn result switch 2".

Hi Leo,

Thanks a lot for your interest in this issue.

I have already checked several times all cable sockets. I powered off both switches and disconnected  cables,  then connect once again firmly secure.

Because of is a DISRUPTIVE test I need to try in no working hours.  :-(

regards

Thanks.  I await for your response and result. 

May I also ask you to post the output to the command "sh post" please?

Hi leo,

I send you the sh post info:

I'm waiting the maintenance windows in order to get the info you asked me.

I really appreciate your time and help.

Hmmm ... "sh post" looks good.  We'll see after the diagnostics.
