The GigabitEthernet9/1 Port Isn't Showing Up on the Switch

[RGately]

Hello,

I am doing a project over Cisco Packet Tracer and it says "using the proper ethernet cable type, connect GigabitEthernet9/0 on the Main-Office-Router to the GigabitEthernet9/1 on Switch-01."  However, when I clicked on the Switch-01 with the copper straight-through on the diagram through Cisco Packet Tracer, only FastEthernet2/1 and FastEthernet3/1 show up.  What can I do from the picture I attached of what I'm looking at?

how you know the port is down ?

Hi,

to verify if port is down/up

Go to CLI tab >>

then type this command: show interfaces [interface id].

in your case:

Switch#show interfaces gigabitEthernet 9/1
