Cisco 4510R+E PoE port question
Hello all:
I am currentlry running a test on a Cisco 4510R+E switch. I have it configured to where packet traffic will be pushed through each interface:
vlan10 gi1/1, gi1/2
vlan20 gi1/3,gi1/4
and so on. When I connect my test server to gi1/1 the port is up and active, the same with port gi1/48 where my other test server is connected to. The problem that I am having is the remaining ports gi1/2 thru gi1/47 are cable to each other (port to port) and all of these ports are down and not connected. If I plug my test server into any of these ports the port comes up just fine.
I am able to run this test on several other cisco switches without issue. What am I missing on this one?
Thanks.

What does spanning tree say's about the port? (show spanning-tree)
ASKER
Spanning-tree is disabled. I usuaually disable spanning-tree with this kind of testing.
CDP is enabled.
CDP is enabled.
Are u using crosscables between the ports?
ASKER
No, I am currently using CAT 6 cables for all ports.
Can you try a crosscable between the ports?
ASKER
I tried using a cross over cable. It did not work.

That was it!!!!!!! All the ports are now active and green like a forest.
