Printer Reboots at 75% when connected to Cisco 2960

Hi,

We are having a problem with our Xerox 5745 multifunction Printer...

This problem had been forwarded to Xerox, but they claim that a problem was caused by a power surge on our Cisco router.

We are having a total of 8 CiscoCatalyst 2960 Series in our IT Communication rooms.

We are also having 2 Xerox 7120, 4 Xerox 5745, 6 HP5200 and 300 computers - PC (HP Desktop) and Laptop (Samsung).

Network : all connected to CISCO Catalyst 2960 Series

Printer Setup:

IP Address: Manual IP Assignment (DHCP Disabled)

PC Setup: TCP/IP –RAW on Port 9100 – SNMP Status ENABLED

The two machines has same firmware software and configuration settings.

one machine just been installed with latest firmware

Problem:

On 3 Xerox 5745 display panel shows: "Network Controller booting"

at 75% the system restart and go on again and again.

This happens when cables are connected to CISCO Catalyst 2660.

Testing done:

  • •1. No problem, Connecting directly to laptop using (crossover cable), accesss to printing is normal.
  • •2. No Problem, Using other switch - dLink (not CISCO Catalyst 2960), the printing is normal.
  • •3. Not work, changing ip address; disabling all protocol; changing speed to 10MBps.
  • •4. Not work, Switching to other port on CISCO Catalyst 2960.
  • •5. Not work, Re-starting the Cisco Catalyst 2960 s.
  • •6. Not work, Changing cables.

HELP! Please ...

Ferdinand,

at least you're not the only one who's experiencing this problem:

In case of your c2960 supports PoE, did you test to disable power inline (I know, PoE normally can't be the reason - but this is a really strange problem)?

What happens when you boot a printer without network connectivity (or with the dLink) to 100% and connect it after that to the c2960 switch?

I already done that, it just stop responding and then re-start by itself.

I also try another switch connect it , it works fine.  But when I uplink the switch to cisco it again re-start by itself.

Upgrade the software on the Xerox. Had same issue and went down similar line of troubleshooting.

System software version of 0161.132.221.29100

resolved issue when we went to version ending in 223.02693
