Troubleshooting This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the Series 2510 Switch. This document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting on the Series 2510 Switch using the software tools available with the switch, including the full-featured console interface, the built-in web browser interface.
Page 48
Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips Because the Series 2510 Switch behaves in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch.
Page 49
Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips ■ Check the port configuration. A port on your Switch may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software.

Troubleshooting Hardware Diagnostic Tests Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling Network cables that fail to provide a link or provide an unreliable link between the switch and the connected network device may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX. The twisted-pair cables attached to the Switch must be compatible with the appropriate standards.
Troubleshooting Restoring the Factory Default Configuration Restoring the Factory Default Configuration As part of your troubleshooting process on the Switch, it may become neces- sary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting the IP address, if one is configured.
Troubleshooting Downloading New Switch Software Downloading New Switch Software When product enhancements occur for the Series 2510 Switch, new software can be downloaded to the switch through several methods, for product enhancements and new features.

Switch Ports and Network Cables This appendix includes switch connector information and network cable information for cables that should be used with the Series 2510 Switch, including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair cables. N o t e Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN communications.
Page 62
Switch Ports and Network Cables Because of the increased speed provided by 1000Base-T (Gigabit-T), network cable quality is more important than for either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Cabling plants being used to carry 1000Base-T networking must comply with the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT).
Switch Ports and Network Cables Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber- optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port. Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling, Gigabit-LX can use either single-mode or multimode cable.
Switch Ports and Network Cables Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX Installing the Patch Cord As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port.
Switch Ports and Network Cables Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs If you connect a Series 2510 Switch twisted-pair port to another switch or hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the Series 2510 Switch port automatically operates as an MDI port. If you connect it to an end node, such as a server or PC, which typically have MDI ports, the Series 2510 Switch port operates as an MDI-X port.
