Fiber connection issue

I have a HP 2520G switch that connects to a HP E5412zl by fiber connection. We had a power failure in the area of the HP2522 switch. The fiber connect did not come back after power was restored. I replaced the SFP on the HP2522 but still no activity. Any other areas I can check?

First, ensure all your network fabric uses UPSes.

The CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD is $130 from Amazon. My guess is you've lost more than $130 trying to deglitch your system after your power outage.

After all your gear is UPS backed, try cycling power off on everything + then bring up one piece of network gear at a time.

Sometimes, power on sequences of multiple pieces of gear at the same time, cause negotiation packet storms + some pieces of gear end up confused + don't play well with each other.

ASKER

I powered down the 2520 and the hp 5412 and still no luck. I changed the fiber cable on the hp2520 this morning still no activity.
