Solution
• Check the power cord connections for the
switch at the switch and the connected
device.
• Ensure that all cables are used correctly and
comply with the Ethernet specifications.
• Check the crimp on the connectors and make
sure that the plug is properly inserted and
locked into the port at both the switch and the
connecting device.
• Ensure that all cables are used correctly and
comply with the Ethernet specifications.
• Check for a defective adapter card, cable, or
port by testing them in an alternate
environment where all products are
functioning.
Make sure that the attached device is configured
to autonegotiate.
• Verify that the cabling is correct.
• Ensure that all connectors are securely
positioned in the required ports. Equipment
might have been accidentally disconnected.

path from any networked device to any other
networked device.
