I currnetly have a network on a 24 port 2950. I need to test some Cisco handsets (PoE). I have a router with a NM-ESW-16 and thought I could wipe the router config and use it as a dumb PoE switch.
Using a cross over between the two devices I connected the 2950 to int 0 on the NM-ESW. However I cannot get a link.
Please help

Do you see the interface come up/up? Are you trying to negotiate trunking?
Here is a useful config guide:

Ports are up down.
Tried the ports in access mode and trunk still no luck.

Have you looked at layer 1? Is the cable good? Those 2 devices don't support Auto MDI/MDI-X so you'll need a crossover. I've been bitten more than once by a bad/incorrect cable :-)
