GigE Port
No traffic is passing
• Ensure cables are connected into correct ports. Port 1 traffic passes through the
link so only Port 1 on the other side can see the traffic. Data will not pass
through the management port through the Apex system.
• Check the Ethernet cables to ensure they work properly.
• Ensure that the GigE port is enabled
Errors on GigE port
