Connectors” for pinouts and correct cable wiring. A category 5 or greater cable tester is a

• Check the port configuration. A port on your switch may not be operating as expected
because it is administratively disabled in the configuration. It may also be placed into a
“blocking” state by a protocol operating on the port (dynamic VLANs), or LACP (dynamic
trunking). For example, the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, LACP, and other
features may put the port in a blocking state.
Use the switch console to determine the port’s configuration and verify that there is not an
improper or undesired configuration of any of the switch features that may be affecting the
port. For more information, see Management and Configuration Guide for your switch at
http://www.hpe.com/networking/support.
