uplink Problem Catalyst 2950

[blue4cisco]

We hv a 2950 catalyst switch, it was running fine in the network some day ago. Now it does'nt work with uplink, whenever we connect to it another switch(D-Link) it light remains orange(uplink port, other are running fine(Green Light)) & no connectivity. please resolve it.

Hello,

I assume the uplink port is a trunk port ? Can you post the output of 'show interfaces x', where 'x' is the uplink port ? Do you have any redundant uplinks (which could cause a spanning tree loop) ? Which D-Link model do you have ?

Hi!

Pls tell me:-

1)Are you using uplink port of D-Link Switch?

2)Are you using Crossover cable to connect both the switches?

In case of (1)try using a straight cable.

In case of (2)try connecting it with port 3 of cisco and port 3 of D-link, which are not upilnk/trunk etc

Above should solve ur problem on physical layer.If that dose not help,give the 'show interface fx' output.

hi,

My make of modem that is connected to Dlink Switch is Packet wave-130 (Aptro Network)

Hello,

can you try and change your physical setup ? From what I understand from your post, your setup looks like this:

Cisco Switch --> D-Link Switch --> PacketWave Modem

Can you try and change this to:

D-Link Switch --> Cisco Switch --> PacketWave Modem

that is, connect the Cisco switch to the PacketWave modem, and the D-Link switch to the Cisco switch ?
