No. Items to check Cause Action
1Use the
show
interfaces command
to display the failure
statistics, and check
whether there is a count
for the following item for
the target port. If there is
a count, see the Cause
and Action columns.
Link down
Line quality is
degraded.
Check whether the cable types are correct. For the types, see the
Hardware Instruction Manual.
If the Switch is set as follows, make sure that the pin mapping
is for MDIX.
A fixed connection is set for the target port.
Auto-negotiation is enabled and the automatic MDIX
functionality is disabled for the target port.
Check the cable length. For the cable length, see the Hardware
Instruction Manual.
Check whether the cables are connected correctly (for example,
check for incomplete insertion).
Replace with the connection interface supported by the Switch.
For details about the connection interfaces supported by the
Switch, see the Configuration Guide.
Perform a line test on the Switch and make sure that the
functionality of the receiving side has no problem. Check the
results of the
no test interfaces (Ethernet) command, and
take the action described in Action. For the test types to be
specified, see 6.1 Testing a line.
2Use the
show
interfaces command
to display the failure
statistics for the receiving
side, and check whether
there are counts for the
following items for the
target port. If there is a
count, see the Cause and
Action columns.
CRC errors
Symbol errors
