you can also issue the command "sh spann int fa0/x" to see if the port is forwarding or blocking, etc.

It looks like I found the problem and would like to let you all know in case you run into the same issue. Looks like the ports were in fact disabled by STP. After further investigation and tracing many wires, what happened was; There was a cable from the uplink port of the hub going to the switch, as well as two overlooked cables going from the hub to the switch. This must have caused STP to shut down the port going to the uplink port of the hub! One I removed the other two cables from the switch, the light went to that pretty green color we've all come to know and love! Again thanks for your assistance! -Rizzo -----Original Message----- From: Leigh Anne Chisholm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 6:21 PM To: Patrick Ramsey; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Rizzo, Damian Subject: RE: Orange lights on Catalyst 2900XL Switch [7:22109] I know with the defective 1900 I had, the ports that I had that were bad also turned the system LED orange as well. I suspect the 2900XL would do the same if that were the problem. What you likely have, is a case of a Spanning Tree loop. The ports are disabled because of a loop. Check your spanning tree protocol information to see if that's the case. Alternatively, the ports could have been disabled due to an address violation - but because of the hubs, depending on how you've got them connected, I suspect you've got a loop. -- Leigh Anne > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Patrick Ramsey > Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 3:42 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Orange lights on Catalyst 2900XL Switch [7:22109] > > > I believe in this case, the orange represents halfduplex > > >>> "Rizzo, Damian" 10/04/01 05:28PM >>> > Hey all, I have a quick question regarding a Catalyst 2900XL Switch. > All appears well, all the status LED's are green with the exception of two > of them.
