Unable to enable port

[jbobnick70]

I have 2950G-48 switch. One of the ports is disabled on it and I am unable to enable that particular port. Everytime I choose the status enable option, under port settings, choose OK and go back in to look at the port, it still says disabled. I am using the web interface to get access to the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Thanks.

I can get into telnet mode, but I am unfamiliar with commands. What would be the command(s) that I would use to try to enable the port. Thanks.

The commands would be:

enter enable mode

conf t

int fast 0/xx (xx being the interface number)

no shut

then exit the conf t mode.

If that doesn't work then try the same procedure but with a shut before the no shut.

Thank you for your help. I was able to get the port re-enabled. This port even works with the GUI interface now. Again thanks.

John,

If the port is assigned to a VLAN that has been deleted the port will be disabled.
