Possible causes for this alert include:

  • A shutdown command issued by someone with access to the device’s configuration
  • A cable that’s been unplugged

Alert severity

Alert trigger condition

An interface is administratively up and operationally down.

Alert clear condition

The interface that appeared to have a mismatch between the administrative and operational statuses no longer shows as mismatched. In other words:
