After Initializing Flash, there are some POST Failure. You can see them in the attachment file. One of them:

C2900XL POST FAILURE: front-end post:Fastethernet0/21

C2900XL POST FAILURE: looped-back packet not received

The system Led and the FastEthernet 0/21 through FE 0/24 leds are Amber.

Hello,

here is what Cisco has to say about the POST failures you are experiencing:

A POST failure usually means there is physical damage to the interface. If an Ethernet Controller which controls four interfaces fails, it would result in the failure of those ports. A common cause of such damage would be ESD.

Failure of any of these diagnostic tests is normally fatal and usually requires an Return Material Authorization (RMA) to resolve the problem.

It looks like your switch(port) is physically damaged.

HTH,

Georg
