Switch 2960X Ports not working

[solidgarou]

I have a network with 3  2960 switch with 48 ports and since two weeks ago some ports stay with orange led not allowing the computers conected to use it. I  try changing the cable of the ports  with the problems and didn't work, in most of the case. I had to change the port, but still have problem with a few devices, i  check it again the cable and the ports but the problems persists. 

[vivek srivastava]

can you post the config of the switches, and also mention that which ports are working and which one are not working ??

[solidgarou]

In this switch  i have problem with port 36

[vivek srivastava]

Port Gi1/0/36 belongs to a port-channel and looking to discription it seems to be connected to a server. So ideally other end should also be configured as port-channel interface.

If you try to connect a PC in normal way (standard ip on the NIC) on this interface, it will not work. and same is true for all interface having " channel-group xx mode active" connamd configured.

[solidgarou]

This is my problem. I have the server configured with port-channel but it's not working because the interface don't work. It has been working until yesterday without problem and suddenly stop working.

[vivek srivastava]

If it was working 1 day back, then less chances of any configuration issues.

However, are you getting any loggs on the switches related to that port or etherchannel interface ??

[solidgarou]

No i dont get any  log about the port, and in the server side the port appears as connected but  without internet connection.
