Symptoms
When connecting the NetScaler 12000 system to a switch through the 0/1 interface located on the back of the system, it may not pass traffic even though the NetScaler has been configured with the proper NetScaler IP address and default route. The 0/1 interface is a 10/100 port (like the Fast Ethernet (FE) ports on the 7000 system).
Note: It can pass traffic but its intended use is as a management convenience.
Cause
The NetScaler 12000 system has eight small form-factor pluggable (SFP) interfaces that are used and configured for typical data traffic. If there are no SFP connectors in 1/1 slots, the NetScaler does NOT send and receive traffic on the 0/1 interface.
Resolution
Install at least one NetScaler SFP connector in a 1/1 slot.
More Information
This issue has been fixed in build 7.0 47.x and will also be made available in build 6.1 95.m for the 12000 system.
