port disabled on switch

[carl_townshend]

I have a switch with 2 ports disabled, saying err disabled, any ideas ?

[Prashanth Krishnappa]

Ports get err-disabled for various reason. Normally the switch would log a message saying why the port was err-disabled. If running CAT OS, do a "sh logging buffer -1023" and if running IOS do a "sh log" to check why the port err-disabled.

Depending on the reason, you can take action to remedy this in the future.
