Hi All,
I have a Cisco / Linksys SRW 2016 switch, all was working fine. Powered off and powered back on a day later.
Switch powered up and the system light lit.
But non of the ports what had cables connected were active....
If you connect a network cable to the switch and then a laptop / pc .. The computer knows that there is a connection, but only gives a 169 address. Presumably because the switch cannot get to my dhcp ?
I have tried connecting a serial cable to the switch top see if I can see any error, but when running Hyper Terminal I only get the white screen and can not see any POST etc.
As far as I under stand it is a straight through cable, do I need a null modem cable to console onto the switch?
Please help !
Thanks.
