# Validate Cables for Nexus Network Fabric
1313

14-
This article explains the Fabric cable validation, where the primary function of the diagnostic API is to check all fabric devices for potential cabling issues. The Diagnostic API assesses whether the interconnected devices adhere to the Bill of Materials (BOM) and according to the resource Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), classifying them as compliant or noncompliant. DEvice types include Customer Edge (CE), Top of Rack (TOR), Management (MGMT) and Network Packet Broker (NPB) devices. The results are presented in a JSON format, encompassing details such as validation status, errors, identifier type, and neighbor device ID. These results are stored in a customer-provided Storage account. It's vital to the overall deployment that errors identified in this report are resolved before moving onto the Cluster deployment step.

The Diagnostic API assesses whether the interconnected devices adhere to the Bill of Materials (BOM) and according to the resource Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), classifying them as compliant or noncompliant.

## Known issues and limitations in cable validation
212212

213-
- Cable Validation of connections between TORs and Compute Servers that are powered off or unprovisioned in the Nexus cluster aren't supported. These interfaces show `Unknown` status in the report.

214214
- Cable Validation of connections between MGMT interfaces and Compute Servers that are powered off or unprovisioned in the Nexus cluster or the Compute Server Controllers aren't supported. These interfaces show `Unknown` status in the report.
215215
- Cable Validation for NPB isn't supported for `loopback` and `nni-direct` interfaces because there's no vendor support currently for `show lldp neighbors`. These interfaces show `Unknown` status in the report.
216216
- The Storage URL must be in a different region from the Network Fabric. For instance, if the Fabric is hosted in East US, the storage URL should be outside of East US.

- Cable validation supports both four rack wih 16 Computes per rack and eight rack wih 16 Computes per rack BOMs.
218-
- When destintation device is powered off, cables are missing or disconnected, or if validation isn't supported for the interface type, then the inteface shows `Unknown` status. **It is important to evaluate all `Unknown` interfaces that are `Not-Connected` against the BOM to determine if repair action is required.**
