SG350 vs Catalyst 2960L - connection speed

[Hiddai]

Hi all,

I got 2 different switches to my home-lab: SG350-24P and Catalyst WS-C2960L-24TS-LL

So...

I connected my Access Point and my laptop to the SG350 - when I turn on my computer - I can surf immediately - the SG350 port indicator green light is always on and blinking whether the computer is on or of.

I connected my Access Point and my laptop to the Catalyst WS-C2960L-24TS-LL - when I turn on my computer - I can't surf immediately - the Catalyst WS-C2960L-24TS-LL port indicator is off when the computer is off. Turning on the computer shows orange light in the switch and each time I'm turning on the computer i need to wait that a connection will be made - meaning wait the orange light to be changed to green light.

[One good point - the catalyst is so quiet then the SG350.]

What is the meaning of this behavior?

Is the Catalyst one is less good then the SG350?

As per the description you need to set the switch port to spanning-tree portfast

please check and let me know if that works for you - and solve after setting the port into port-fast.

Same behavior.

See attached image and video.

flashing orange - on your switch 2900 means duplex mismatch error.

Can you adjust the port settings or post the interface config here and check the Logs

here is the details :

Along with i would expect the configuration of 2900 switch to verify some information.

EDIT :

I have observed that you have configured Port-channel LACP on the screenshots, is the same config on 2900 Side ?

[Hiddai]

LACP is the default value under Portgroup Type field in the configuration.

So, What are my options in this case?

[balaji.bandi]

That is the reason I have requested Cat 2900 side config to suggest better since we do not see that config.(post the config of Cat 2900 Switch)
