Hi All
Perhaps someone has seen this problem before.
I have got a Layer 3 switch 3550 connecting to an Optical Laser unit at 2 buildings.
When the laser connects to the switch with its utp cable the port does not come up when I use the Later versions of IOS ie Version 12.1(12)EA1 and later up to 12.1(14)EA1.If I downgrade the switches to Version 12.1(11)EA1 it works and picks up the Laser units.
Is this a possible IOS bug.I cant upgrade my switches now because of this problem.Will the later version of software after 12.1(14)EA1 have a fix for this problem.Below is the version that is working with the Laser units at present.
Any ideas would be useful.
Thanks

Try latest 12.1(19)EA1 and if it fails, I suggest that you open a TAC case. Try turning off negotiation as well.

Hi
I upgraded the switches and unfotunately the port did not come up.I had to downgrade back to 12.1(11)EA1 to get the port back up.
I suppose I will have to open a TAC case....
I could not turn of negotiation because the port is setup as a routed hop port.
Cheers
