So you are saying you plugged in a known working notebook into Gi2/0/1 and the port did not come up?

Did you try another cable?

If you tried both of these and the port stayed down I would say the switch has a hardware fault.

Hi Philip,
Sorry for late response. Yes, ports are not coming up and tried with new cables but no luck. switch 2 has 52 ports but only issue with ports (2/0/1 to 2/024).

Hi,

You seem to have a stack of switches since the first number starts with (Gi2/0/1, Gi2/0/2, etc.) So, make sure you are connecting the laptop to the second switch ports on the stack and not any other switch.

Hi Reza,

Sorry for late response and missed to mention switch connected in stack. i tried connecting laptop with switch 2 affected port but port is not coming up and also tried changing the cable as well but no luck.

Hi,

So, the uplinks are working but none of the other 24 ports comes up when you connect a laptop to them?

Can you try a different laptop? Also, if that does not help, you may want to upgrade to a different IOS and if that does not help you may have a hardware issue with switch 2.

Reza, thanks for the response. It's a working laptop so no issue with the laptop. I am planning to reload the switch this weekend. If reload didn't work I will follow your suggestion and update you. Thank you so much.

Reza, Yes uplinks are working fine. The only issue with first 24 ports and other remaining ports are working fine.

HI,

Try to reload the switch if it will not work then book a call with TAC.
