Not that strange.
I had an hub, which had two ports burned out after having been
continuously connected to NICs. (those who attended the Ra'anana
installation party [the /dev/null picture] few years may remember an hub,
which had two ports marked as bad but other ports were not good, too. It
was this loser of hub.)
So it is not that strange that some ports in a switch went bad.
