2960X down-when-loop

Hi, I have a Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48LPS-L iOS version 12.2(55r)SE

I have a port linked to another switch (D-Link DGS-3120)

The config of the port is only

switchport access vlan XXX

I suspected some loop on the link so I try to activate the "down-when-loop" command on that port

When I do that, automaticly the port going down, but not in errdisable. It's state is down (not connected).

After that I remove the commande down-when-loop with "no down-when-loop" on that port. Shutdown the port and renable it. Whatever I plug into the port, the port still stay down (not connected). The only solution to make it right again is reload the switch so it's not a real solution.

How can I resolve that without reload? I try unplug, plug again, plug a switch or a laptop, Nothing happens to port stay down (not connected)

Hello,

try to enable and the disable keepalives on the affected port:

2960(config-if)# keepalive 10
2960(config-if)# no keepalive

Nothing change. I try to plug again a switch on that port and the port stay down

Hello,

can you post the output of 'show interface x' when the port is down ?
