A link is connected and yet the Port Status LED for the port does
not light
Check that:
■
The Switch and the device at the other end of the link (or cable) are
connected securely.
■
The devices at both ends of the link are powered-up
■
The quality of cable is satisfactory
■
Auto-negotiation settings are the same at both ends.
Link problems will occur with 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T where
auto-negotiation is disabled and incorrect cables are being used.
Link problems will occur with fiber if:
■
The Receiver (RX) and Transceiver (TX) cable connectors are
swapped
■
Fibers are broken
■
Auto-negotiation differs at either end (a link appears at the ‘fixed’
end and not at the auto-negotiation end)
