Resolució de problemes

This section provides basic troubleshooting steps for common issues. For more complex problems, refer to the official user manual or contact Cisco support.

Sense poder

• Verify the power cord is securely connected to the switch and the electrical outlet.
• Comproveu si la presa de corrent funciona connectant-hi un altre dispositiu.
• Ensure the power switch (if present) is in the ON position.

Sense connectivitat de xarxa

• Check the Ethernet cables connecting devices to the switch ports. Ensure they are properly seated and not damaged.
• Observe the link/activity LEDs on the switch ports. A solid green or amber light typically indicates a valid link, while blinking indicates activity. No light suggests a cable or device issue.
• Verify the network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) on the connected devices.
• If using SFP+ ports, ensure the correct transceivers are used and fiber optic cables are clean and properly connected.
• Accés a l'interruptor web UI to check port status and configuration.

Slow Network Performance

• Check for excessive network traffic or broadcast storms using the switch's monitoring tools.
• Ensure all devices are operating at their optimal speed (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet for Gigabit ports).
• Verify duplex settings are consistent between the switch port and the connected device.
• Consider implementing QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize critical applications.
