Cisco Catalyst switch link issues

I have a Cisco C9300 switch and the port does not link up when connected to WS-C4506, however when i connect the C9300 to a 2960 the same port links up.
Is there an issue with a catalyst switch port not linking up when connected to another catalyst switch port?

Check speed and duplex for link.

It should be auto negotiating everything, it auto negotiated everything when connected to C2960:

Here are the outputs:

Port 47 when connected to the  WS-C4506 and port 48 connected to the 2960:

Te1/0/47 notconnect 1 auto auto 100/1000/2.5G/5G/10GBaseTX

Te1/0/48 connected 1 a-full a-1000 100/1000/2.5G/5G/10GBaseTX

 

This switch is brand new switch out of the box with no configuration and i have noticed similar behaviors with other C9300 as well.

I am just looking for it to link nothing more than that, but it does not even recognize the link at all.

Is this a bug?

Would you post the output of these commands from both the 9300 and the 4506

from show run the configuration of the switch inteface

show interface <interfaceID>

There is physical mismatch between SW's.

I Will send private messages share some note.

Following is the config on the switch ports:

Switch#sh run int te1/0/47
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 42 bytes
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/47
end

Switch#sh run int te1/0/48
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 42 bytes
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/48
end

 

Following are the interface details:

We noticed this in production and testing to see if this is just one switch or are all 9300 working like this?

I am looking for possible mismatch between switches. Providing output from only one switch is not helpful.

Note: Nothing changed, configuration was not changed, the cable was not touched and link was not flapped. The link came up on its own.
We have noticed the same in production as well , so is this like a bug?

 

Thanks for the update. It is strange that the connection did come up but after a long delay. I wish that the interface outputs had been done while the connection was still not working. Perhaps that might have provided some clue about the issue.

I do note that there is one mismatch shown in the outputs. On the 2960 the switch port is configured as an access port. On the 4506 the interface is a trunk carrying 4 vlans. I do not see how this mismatch could cause the symptoms you describe, but this mismatch is something that you should address.

HTH

If there was a mismatch should not the port first link up and then throw an error? It does not recognize the port at all. It always throws up as "not connected". Also if both the ports are trunked or access ports i would still be able to recreate this issue. On the field we had the 9300 connect to the C4506 , the ports on each of the devices were a trunk port. We used different ports on the switch configured as trunk and it would not come back up. Of course 30 minutes later it would come back up , is this a known bug or something new?  I can provide you with interface outputs when the links are not up since i just need to reboot the switch so to have a look.

It is and the bug lies with the 9300.

We call this behaviour "ghost ports".  

What is the Bug id and the version to fix this?

Ghost ports only happen, predominantly, on switches on IOS-XE.  Classic IOS very rarely (or never) ever have this. 

Reboot the offending switch member is the only workaround.

Only monitoring this port I dont think there is issue according to config you share.
