Ok so, I changed access ports from patch panel to switch and I finally got an IP and laptop worked, now as soon as I plugged in the new device, the interface went orange and now it is down. This is a interface that was just up.&nbsp;

Do you have port security configured on the port. <br>Put <br>Show run int gi3/0/3

there is nothing wrong in the configuration, at least when you connect the port to the switch, he should be up, down means not physically connected. Try to connect the laptop to the switch directly without patch panel and check. <br>more when you connect the cable to the switch, put show log, you should see the port changed status in the logging.

I plugged directly into switch. It seems as though there is no cable plugged into it.&nbsp;

try to plug to another port on the switch

I then plugged it into another switch access port and it works. Is it maybe because it is POE enabled and the device doesn't like it. It almost seems as the port is bad now. That is two different ports.&nbsp;

Never mind, I don't think inline power is supported for that interface.

No it's not a POE device. The only thing in the logs is when I plugged into port next to bad port. <br><br><br>

Yes, that is what it seems like. Thank you so much for all your help. This is going to be a device issue with vendor. I have emailed my contact. THANK YOU!

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
