One Port of the Router is Up and the other is Down

[salmanfaryad]

Hello All,

   I want to migrate my Cisco router from 2811 to 4321. The problem is, former router (2811) has following commands configured:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1533
description ***Wateen Primary_12Mbps L3VPN Data***
encapsulation dot1Q 1533
ip address 192.168.x.x 255.255.255.252
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1534

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1529

interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1535
description ***Wateen Secondary_20Mbps L2BGP***
encapsulation dot1Q 1535
ip address 192.168.x.x 255.255.255.252
!
interface FastEthernet0/1/0
ip address 103.x.x.x 255.255.x.x
ip virtual-reassembly in
load-interval 30
duplex auto
speed auto

----------------

Now the same command for Auto speed and auto duplex can't be configured at 4321 side. So I configured auto negotiation.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
no ip address
negotiation auto
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0.1533

When I deploy my new 4321 router, it's ports Gig 0 and Gig 0/0/1 go Up while the port Gig 0/0/0 goes down.

How can I tackle the issue?

The router one other end is also configured for auto speed and auto duplex.

 try removing no auto negotiation on both sides .

Hello,

I assume these are copper ports (as obviously you cannot set the duplex on fiber linke)...

I remember a similar case from a few years ago. Try the following command sequence:

4321#conf t

4321(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1

4321(config-if)#shut

4321(config-if)no negotiation auto

4321(config-if)ethernet oam mode active

4321(config-if)no shut

Then check if the port comes up and lets you set speed and duplex.

speed x

duplex x

hi,

what's the adjacent device connected to your 4321 G0/0/0?

i assume this is facing the service provider. check with your provider what's their device speed/duplex setting and configure the same.

int Gig 0/0/0
 no negotiation auto
 speed 100
 duplex full

Thanks for your help.

The configuration on adjacent router is as below:

interface FastEthernet0/0
description ***Wateen_12Mbps L3VPN Data***
ip address 192.168.x.x 255.255.x.x
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.x.x
duplex auto
speed auto
