Unplug the cable and reinsert it.Įliminate faulty patch panel connections. Sometimes a cable appears to be seated in the jack but is not. Look for broken or lost pins on connectors.Ĭheck for loose connections. Swap suspect cable with known good cable. Refer to the Catalyst Switch Cable Guide. Make sure that both ends of the cable are plugged into the correct ports. If the link light for the port does not come on, you can consider these possibilities: Possible CauseĬonnect cable from switch to a known good device. Check the Cable and Both Sides of the Connection Normally you can identify this situation if the port has many packet errors, or the port constantly flaps (loses and regains link). The cable can have encountered physical stress that causes it to be functional at a marginal level. A single broken wire or one shutdown port can cause the problem where one side has a link light, but the other side does not.Ī link light does not guarantee that the cable is fully functional. The table describes the LED status indicators for Ethernet modules or fixed-configuration switches: PlatformĮnsure that both sides have a link. If you have physical access to the switch, it can save time to look at the port LEDs which give you the link status or can indicate an error condition (if red or orange).
