Ok heres the deal. I am currently in school. I found a new catalyst 2960 never opened. We have a classroom that needs connections. I have 1 working rj45 cable in this room. I went into the router and set
the IP and subnet mask
the default gateway
I went into the dhcp server and set a reservation for this ip on both dhcp servers. On the dhcp server it says the lease is inactive im sure because i cant ping out or connect.
and I am unsure why i it will not connect to the network. I can not ping the gateway but i have verified that this is a good connection and I am on the right subnet of 11. I verified the default gateway as well.
I am using a straight through cable to the rj45 jack in the wall. I assume i do not need a cross over cable? Should it not be able to tell that on its own? I dont have a cross over cable to test with.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello
Have you tried the same settings on a laptop and tested the network connection to make sure you have network connectivity from the wall jack?
How have configured the switch - can you post the config
