Why am I getting this error?

[jtharvey1]

Using a Cisco SG300-28PP PoE+ switch, I seem to continually get this error and I am not sure why.

Please assist.

Hi,

first of all I would look into physical connectivity on the port 6 such as cable, connected device. what is the type of the device connected?  

Regards,

Aleksandra

[jtharvey1]

a 5-foot Cat-6e cable is attached to an AppleTV device that is sitting a shelf down from the switch in the equipment rack.

Thank you,

Please take a look into the running configuration and check for port 6 settings. In running configuration you may see smartport macro.

also it is good practice to ensure you have the latest firmware and boot code:

firmware 1.4.2.88

boot code 1.3.5.06

I believe I am running the latest firmware and boot code but am enclosing both a Switch Summary and a detailed snapshot of the configuration of the port in question for your review.

Thank you!

[Aleksandra Dargiel]

Hi,

Boot code and firmware are the latest. For the port configuration can you please download running configuration file and share. you may use priviate message option on this forum.

I don't seem to be able to PM you.

The only difference in this port and the other ports not associate with a Lag is this one is protected. Would that make a difference?

[jtharvey1]

It did appear to be a bad cable.
