TX%EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Gi1/0/1 is not compatible with Gi1/0/2 and will be suspended (speed of Gi1/0/1 is 100M, Gi1/0/2 is 1000M)
why the speed is varying but i was configured as auto , Kindly suggest
Gi1/0/2 connected trunk a-full a-1000 10/100/1000BaseTX
Gi1/0/1 suspended trunk a-full a-100 10/100/1000BaseTX
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ok. Thanks for the output.
Output tells me you've got a cable problem at the remote end of Gi 1/0/1. Maybe the patch cable or could be the punch block.
If you want GigabitEthernet speed then Pairs A, B and D must be NORMAL.

Make sense. Look at the speed of both ports. They are not the same. And this is why Gi1/0/1 is suspended.
Gi 1/0/1 could potentially have a faulty cable. You could try running a TDR to determine.
1. Command: test cable tdr interface Gi 1/0/1;
2. Wait for approximately 5 to 7 seconds;
3. Command: sh cable tdr interface Gi 1/0/1;
4. Post the output to #3.

thank you leo let me check

there was issue in patch panel port is not supporting the speed, after changing to other port its fine.
thanks

Hi all community fellows. Just to share my experience and how I solved the problem. My situation looks like that - a Cisco UCS C240 M4S2 server connected with four ports to two Cisco 3850 switches in a stack. There are two ports connected to each switch in a stack. All four ports on the 3850 are in a port channel. After some maintenance in the rack the issue - "%ETC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Gi1/1/1 is not compatible with Gi1/1/2 and will be suspended (speed of Gi1/1/1 is 100M, Gi1/1/2 is 1000M)" appears on 3850. Port channel went down and I lost connectivity between the server and the switch. Reading the posts above I try to check all the connections - cables, jacks and inserts connecting the devices. It appears to be one of the cables with interrupted wire 5, so making possible only 100 M of speed for this connection. Replacing the faulty wire fix the problem for me. So check all physical elements before experiment with any settings. This is it. I solved my problem. Hope to help someone this way.
