Cisco 500 Switch not allowing more than one port from a small Linksys

assalihin · ‎05-13-2008

I just replaced my main switches with Cisco CE500. On those I branched out couple of 5 port Linksys switches.

Now only one device attached to the linksys is on the network out of four.

Is there a setting that I need to change?

The Linksys is plugged in a switch port by the way.

Thanks.

Do not use smart port roles for the linksys ports, because the linksys switches probably don't support 802.1q trunking which in the switch role it enables.

I changed the role for the port to other and that did it.

Thanks.
