Symptom Cause Solution
Power LED is off. No power is received. • Check the power cable connections at the
switch and the power source.
• Ensure that all cables are used correctly and
comply with the Ethernet specifications.
Combined
speed/activity LED is off
when the port is
connected to a device.
Port connection is not working. • Check the crimp on the connectors and
make sure that the plug is properly inserted
and locked into the port at both the switch
and the connecting device.
• Ensure that all cables are used correctly and
comply with the Ethernet specifications.
• Check for a defective port, cable, or module
by testing them in an alternate environment
where all products are functioning.
File transfer is slow or
performance is
degraded.
One possible cause:
A broadcast storm occurred and a
network loop (redundant path) was
created.
Break the loop by ensuring that only one path
exists from any networked device to any other
networked device. After you connect to the
switch web browser-based management
interface, you can configure the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) to prevent network loops.
Another possible cause:
Half-duplex or full-duplex setting on
the switch and the connected
device are not the same.
Make sure that the attached device is configured
for auto-negotiation.
A segment or device is
not recognized as part
of the network.
One or more devices are not
properly connected, or cabling does
not meet Ethernet guidelines.
• Verify that the cabling is correct.
• Ensure that all connectors are securely
positioned in the required ports. It is possible
that equipment was accidentally
disconnected.
Combined
speed/activity LED is
blinking continuously on
all connected ports and
the network is disabled.
A network loop (redundant path)
was created.
Break the loop by ensuring that only one path
exists from any networked device to any other
networked device. After you connect to the
switch web browser-based management
interface, you can configure the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) to prevent network loops.
