Troubleshooting
This chapter describes the procedures to test and troubleshoot the switches.
Connectivity Testing
In the following procedure, you will test each port for a valid connection and to confirm the
correct operation of the network.
1.
Start with Ports 1 and 2. Connect these two ports of a single switch to two nodes
or workstations and turn on the switch power.
2.
Wait approximately 1-3 seconds for the auto-negotiation process to complete
after power-on or after the cables are reconnected.
3.
Make sure the Link/Activity and other LEDs of both switch ports are lit.
4.
After confirming that Port 1 and Port 2 are operational, reconnect one of the
nodes/workstations to another port, then repeat this connectivitiy test with the
switch's remaining ports. Continue to verify the connection in each port by
checking the Link/Activity and other activity LEDs.
Use Port 8 MDI-X connected to a workstation. Use Port 8 MDI connected to a
hub. Use only one Port 8 at a time.
