Symptoms
Exachk reports below failure for the ethernet network cables:
Status on x03exa01:
FAIL => One or more Ethernet network cables are not connected.

Changes
Exachk reported these failures.
Cause
The ports were disabled on the switch.
Solution
The Field Engineering team checked the cabling and found no issues.
It was determined that the ports were disabled on the switch.
After activating ports, ifconfig showed traffic running on both compute nodes on eth5 :
Before
eth5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:E2:BA:21:EF:53
UP BROADCAST SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
After
eth5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:E2:BA:21:EF:53
UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
