error-disable on Catalyst 2960 ethernet port

I have a catalyst 2960 switch installed. The port is in error-disable state. It was working fine a few days ago. I have checked the punch down wiring and the physical cables and they are fine. If I connect it to a different port on the switch it works fine.

Here is the configuration for that port:

interface FastEthernet0/17

switchport mode access

switchport voice vlan 100

macro description cisco-phone-data

spanning-tree portfast

here is the port it is connected to:

interface FastEthernet0/18

switchport mode access

switchport voice vlan 100

macro description cisco-phone-data

spanning-tree portfast

As you can see they are identical.

Here is the show int on the port:

FastEthernet0/17 is down, line protocol is down (err-disabled)

Hardware is Fast Ethernet, address is 0024.134c.6311 (bia 0024.134c.6311)

Keepalive set (10 sec)

Auto-duplex, Auto-speed, media type is 10/100BaseTX

input flow-control is off, output flow-control is unsupported

Last input never, output 1d02h, output hang never

Last clearing of "show interface" counters never

Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0

Queueing strategy: fifo

Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)

I am debating if it is a hardware issue. I also have tried no shutdown on the port to re-enable it and that did not work.

Any ideas?

you have to shutdown the interface and then have to apply the no shut command.

Can you please post the logs of the switch? This will usually show the reason for the interface going into err-disable.

can u please post o/p of  command 'sh interfaces status err-disabled' even this command show the reason of err-disable
