Hans,

The easiest way to troubleshoot this is issue is by connecting a "Known
Good" laptop/desktop directly into the switch port. I would also suggest
enabling portfast on the switch ports connecting to host stations (ie
workstation, servers, and printers). 

Regards

Subject: Switch port failure on 3548 [7:15089]


Hello colleagues,

I have a Cisco 3548 switch and I suspect that one of the switch ports is
not 
working. All 48 ports have a CAT5 cable connection, and all ports are 
patched to the respective wall outlets, there are no active users yet,
so 
all the ports are down/down. When I do a shut/no shut on all the ports,
I 
can see in the log that all ports except one show that the port goes up
and 
then down. To my best knowledge, the fact that the port goes up/down
after a 
shut/no shut shows that the port is ok. The port that doesn't work goes
down 
right away. My question is: does this mean that the actual physical
switch 
port is defective, or that the CAT5 cable attached to the switch isn't 
working, or that something on the path from the switch port to the wall 
outlet isn't working ?
Thanks for your help in advance !

Regards,
Hans
