Some 2950 switch ports led turn amber even without cable connection

Hello. Due to a likely NIC problem, after connecting my laptop to a port on the 2950 switch, the led turns amber even after disconnecting the cable.
2 ports on the switch are having this problems. Ideally the led should be off when nothing is connected.
Please, how can I correct this problem without restarting the switch because its in a production environment.
Eddy

Hello,
which two switchports are amber? Try toggling the port LED modes by pressing the mode button.
Have a look at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a008007e889.html#xtocid41699
for the different port modes meanings and their respective usage of port LEDs.
It would also be helpful to see the port status from the switch CLI in case the procedure above didn´t solve the problem.
Hope this helps

  • Force Switch Port LED to Blink

    Hi Guys,
    Does anyone know if there is a method of forcing a non connected switch port LED to blink for a certain number of times regardless if there is anything connected.
    The purpose of this is we have remote 3750 switch stacks and quite often have to tell non technical staff to patch to a certain port. It would be much easier if we could say "Connect it to the empty port which just started blinking orange" as the port numbers are difficult for them to see in these locations.
    A similar feature is available in the ethtool package for linux which makes it really easy for identifying ports on servers. It would be great if a similar feature is available on Cisco switches.
    Thanks,

    Hi Kris,
    The Nexus 5K, 7K and MDS platforms allow use of interface beacon mode:
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
    switch(config-if)# beacon
    The beacon mode allows you to identify a physical port by flashing its link-state LED with a green light. At this stage, the feautre is not available platforms. Hope this helps!

  • HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my  hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

    My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it.  I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion.  It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • I updated to IOS6 on my IPAD 3 and IPad shows a pic of USB port and ITunes but will connect and/or turn on even when I connect to my computer.

    I updated to IOS6 on my IPad and the screen went blank then showed a picture of a USB plug and arrow pointing to ITunes but nothing else happens.  I cannot restore, recover or sync anything....  Please help!

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow this.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • My 5G ipod displays "Firewire not supported." even without cable.

    It will have the error message even without the usb cable in. The message will pop up sometimes when i move it. I am thinking that the connection port on the bottom might be loose. Could a pin be out of place or is there some kind of locking switch or pin that indicates that the cable is in the ipod. Has anybody ever seen this problem before and has it been resolved? Any help is appreciated.

    This message appears to be a hardware issue, and cannot be fixed; the iPod likely needs to be replaced.

  • Turn on Bluetooth WITHOUT Access Connections?

    I recently reformatted and installed Vista ultimate x64 on my X61 Tablet (7764 CTO). I'm having a number of issues, but the one I'd like to get help with here is that access connections will not function properly on my computer (it will open, but not even show my bluetooth radio), so I've decided to do without it. Now my question is, how do I turn on bluetooth?
    Alternately, why isn't bluetooth showing up in access connections?

  • Write among COM ports in the same PC without cables

    How can I write to the memory address(es) of a serial COM port?  I would like to send data from one serial COM port to another in a manner similar to the that of the 'Simple Data Client' and 'Simple Data Server' vi examples.  This must sound strange since this is exactly what a null modem cable will do, externally.  I would like to eliminate the cable connection between COM ports that exsit in the same PC and communicate between them, internal to the PC, somehow. 
    Currently, I am using a LabVIEW vi to read a serial message on COM1, translate it, send the trsanslation out on COM2, so that a separate windows program (no .DLLs to interface with LabVIEW) can read the message on COM 3.  COM 2 and COM 3 are connected by a null-modem cable.  This requires three COM ports, and two serial cables.  I realize that I can use a physical loop-back jumper on COM2, for instance, where I send and read the translated message on COM2, but I still wonder if there is a method for doing this in memory, or something. Is there a way to accomplish the same objective with one cable (into COM1), no loop-back jumpers, and only two serial ports?  In summary, I want to read on COM 1, translate in LabVIEW, then write directly to another COM port, internally, without using a serial cable.  Can the 'IN PORT' or 'OUT PORT' vi's apply here?  Are these tools only for parallel ports?
    Hope this is not too confusing....  It seems like I am always trying to do something with LabVIEW that was not meant to be done....
    Thanks.

    Thank you.  If I pay the price they ask, this looks like it will create and share virtual COM ports - exactly what I need.  However, I would really like to find a way to do this in LabVIEW, such that I do not have to make my application dependent on another piece of third party software.  The 'Simple Data Client.vi' and 'Simple Data Server.vi', included in the shipset examples, seem to do this for TCP/ IP ports.  I wonder why the COM ports cannot be addressed at the memory level, in a similar manner???

  • Printer turns off even though is connected on MacBook

    Hi all,
    I got my dad a MacBook to replace his Dell. A lot of complains aroused since the switch and managed to answer most to him. However, one I cannot figure out is the following.
    When we had the Dell we left the printer connected to the laptop and the Printer remained ON at all times. Now with the MacBook the printer goes off after 5 minutes of the last print and we are forced to turn it on every time we need to print.
    The printer, if it helps, is a HP deskjet 5550.
    I appreciate all your help.

    Hi Dibo,
    It is possible that the printer and computers are connected to two different routers (networks).  If the printer is connected to the same router as the computers, it could be connected to a guest SSID while the computers are connected to the main SSID.
    One way to check is to compare the network settings reported by the printer on its network reports to the settings the computers use to connect to the internet.
    I was an HP employee.

The Find my ipod is notable to lock or locate because is offline....HELP PLEASE I will take any advice... It was stolen in a McDonalds that had wireless but was not connected...

    I'm an plug and play, aka, intuative Apple OS "cooler", or a guy that has been most likely to "tilt" even the most bug free Apple software and maybe even hardware, and unqualified to give advice, except for the fact that I had my iPad and then my iPhone boosted a year ago. May I ask, did you ever log in to your app; "Find my iPhone" and go through the registration process? If you did, you would have had to have registered it into "mobileme" or the ancestor of mm, the name escapes me, or you would have had to "iCloud it", the implications of which, I'm just barely scratching the surface (<--ADHD) but that's the kind of thing I would have, and did do, even though I didn't have a clue, what it was for, or understand how to incorperate it into my resources at the time, I'm just a "register here" factory, that registers first and askes questions later. If you did this, I suspect you may have a reason to hope a a GPS kite string that millions of theft targets like us are longing to see, return your device, for Christ Sakes! i do know that, if you did you, can access the signal blip, location from any smart device, with internet access and your log in/password, that you will need to remember, track down, or if all else fails, ask Support to assist, by in my case jogging my memory, until it came to my low watt brain, the log in id, I had used.

  • My iPod Touch won't turn on even when I connect it to the computer.

    About a month ago, I lost my ipod 4th gen, and I got it back yesterday morning. Before I lost it, it was at less than 20% battery life, so I knew it was going to be dead. When I got home to charge it, my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I tried doing the home/lock button thing to no avail. I held the lock button for five minutes without any response. The stupid thing has been plugged into the computer for the last day or so, and nothing is happening to it. I really miss my ipod... Can anybody help?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes 9.2 freezes the moment it opens, even without iPhone connected

    I upgraded to iTunes 9.2 as well as OS4 on my iPhone 3G, and suddenly it started freezing the moment I open it today, both with iPhone connected and without, so it can't have anything to do with the phone. It opens much quicker than normal (it usually takes at least half a minute to open normally, now it only takes like 5 seconds, so I have a feeling the program didn't even load properly), and the moment it opens the application is frozen, displayed as "not responding" in task manager. I can still move my mouse. Yes I've tried shutting down the iTunes.exe process manually and restarting it, that didn't work. And no I didn't subscribe to podcasts or anything. Is there anything else to do to fix this? I don't want to reinstall and risk losing all my settings and stuff....

    Please try this troubleshooting guide posted by apple. It is titled [*_iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues_*|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421]. This article should assist you in addressing your issue.

  • Cannot turn on ipod without USB connection

    I bought my brand new ipod nano yesterday. I've added all my tunes, it's been charging all night, but when I unplug the nano (it says 'charged' apparantly), I cannot turn it on. While it is plugged into my USB, the nano is fine...I can listen to songs and scroll through the menu etc, but it just won't turn on if it's not plugged in
    Maybe it's not fully charged? It says 'charged', but if I plug it in again to charge, it keeps on charging. Is there something wrong with my battery? Help me

    Hey msakamoto,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    - Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    - If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    - If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    - If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

    We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
    By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
    I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
    The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
    I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
    So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Same problem here.
    I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
    So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
    Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
    Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

  • Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.

    My Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.
    Is this normal? The Airport utility also said that I didn't connect anything to the port - when there is a lan cable connected from the main Airport Extreme.
    The computer can connect to the WiFi from the Airport Express properly, but with blinking yellow and no internet connection, also it cannot obtain the ip address.
    After setting the Airport Express to the Bridge mode, the computer cannot access to the Airport Express anymore, with "Connection Time Out" error.
    The Airport Express was 3 days old, and was working properly until today. There is also one blackout today because of the storm.
    Had reset the Airport several times, didn't solve the problem.

    Hi again. That is a good idea. Check if router can grab an ip from your modem since wireless local connection through the router is working. If it can grab an ip and works fine on wireless, then you might have a problem with the ethernet ports. You might want to try assigning an ip address on the wired connection and see if ip of router is pingable. If really not working at all, possibility that router is not working properly anymore.
