ethernet port failed to initialized on 1240AP

[mdraeger]

I have a 1240AP and I am getting the message that the Ethernet port failed to initialized is this a hardware failure or is there a setting that needs to be changed?.

Reload Command.

The system has been encountered an error initializing
ethernet port. You may need to check hardware
The system is ignoring the error and continuing boot.
If you interrupt the system boot process, the following
commands will reinitialize ethernet, tftp, and finish
loading the operating system software:

    ether_init
    tftp_init
    boot

What is the switch model is connected to the AP?  Are you using PoE or power injector/power brick?

[mdraeger]

It give me the same responce if it is connected with power injector or connected to any of our Switch which are 3Com right now it is connected to a cisco SWR2008

So when you do the command "sh ip interface brief" the FasthEthernet0 is showing up/up or up/down or down/down?

[mdraeger]

this what comes up

Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
BVI1                       unassigned      YES DHCP   down                  down
Dot11Radio0                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Dot11Radio1                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
FastEthernet0              unassigned      YES other  up                    down

I've never seen this issue before.  Could it be that the switches you are using have their port and duplex setting hard-coded?

[mdraeger]

nope double check that one and tried diffrent switches

[Leo Laohoo]

I do pray you have a valid Service Contract because this is the next thing I can think of.  RMA.

[mdraeger]

that is what I was thinking thank you for you time

[Leo Laohoo]

Thank you for your patience.

Easiest thing is to connect your laptop to the ethernet port of the AP and see if you can initialize the port or else like Leo said.... its RMA time:)

I found solution specified the configuration in interface, basicly is

#enable

#configure terminal

Entramos en la interfaz

#interface FastEthernet0#speed 100

#full-duplex
