-- Posted by jamescoleman at 12:19 am on May 31, 2008 alright so i'm having trouble on trying to figure out why the lights wont turn green on this switch. i've looked at the troubleshooting guide and i still couldn't figure out why certain ports will work and some wont. when i turn on the switch i get a good post. -- Posted by Gabriel Gray at 12:21 am on May 31, 2008 Now I know a lot about electronics, and I even own a computer repair business.... But you have officially confused me. -- Posted by i who have nothing at 12:23 am on May 31, 2008 Quote: from N e o at 3:21 am on May 31, 2008 Now I know a lot about electronics, and I even own a computer repair business....

After searching google, yes I gathered that it was an ethernet switch for large networks. I do not have much experience with large networks. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 3:10 am on May 31, 2008 if i got a new switch then it would cost me way more. -- Posted by vitamin at 12:50 am on June 5, 2008 Do you have a fault light on that switch? It maybe worth connecting that to your PC through the console port and resetting it. If you cant do that then you are going to have to send it away. Isn't there lifetime warranty on that? -- Posted by jamescoleman at 1:05 am on June 5, 2008 i'm not sure vitamin. i looked up that the switch used catos and so i'll have to learn a whole new os but i have figured out some stuff and found very little online. on the post, everything works. i dont know about the warranty on it because cisco is difficult to look for old stuff in -- Posted by vitamin at 2:49 pm on June 15, 2008 Sorry I thought it was an HP procurve.... if it was it would have come with lifetime warranty possibly. Cisco's dont have a fault light as such. Do you have the cisco console cable for it? If not grab one and hyperterm into the switch see if u get to the cisco promt. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 5:06 pm on June 15, 2008 i made a connection to it its just one of those switches that like to be difficult. its alot harder to work with than the 2900xl switch lol anyways, i'm just trying to still configure it and its not going too well
