Power cycling the switch and the software reset and the reload option cause
the switch to perform a power-on self-test, which almost always will resolve
any temporary operational problem. Neither of these reset procedures causes

Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling

If you think the cable should work but still isn't working, it may not be
compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-T, or 1000Base-T
standards, as appropriate for the switch port type that the cable is connected

compatible with these standards.To verify your cable is compatible with these
standards, use a qualified cable testing device.
