7. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your Cisco SF100D-16 switch, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| No power / System LED off | L'adaptador de corrent no està connectat o està defectuós; la presa de corrent no funciona. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the switch and a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device. |
| Device not connecting / Port LED off | Ethernet cable faulty or improperly connected; device not powered on or faulty. | Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the switch port and the network device. Try a different cable or port. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. |
| Rendiment lent de la xarxa | High network traffic; faulty cable; connected device operating at a lower speed. | Check for excessive network activity. Ensure all cables are in good condition. The switch automatically negotiates speed, but ensure connected devices are capable of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) for optimal performance. |
| Connectivitat intermitent | Loose cable connection; electrical interference; faulty switch or device. | Reseat all Ethernet cables. Ensure the switch is not near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If the problem persists, try power cycling the switch. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Cisco technical support for further assistance.
