I recently started using this switch, and I keep having ports shut off on me. They will work fine for several days, and then out of nowhere, the port will completely shut off until I reboot the switch. Has anyone else seen behavior like that?

Accepted Answer

That isn't normal behavior - mine has never dropped a port. Suggest standard trouble shooting. Is it always the same ports? If so switch cables between ports that don't fail and the ones that do. If the same ports continue to fail, the switch is bad, if not is the the cable or device at the end. If it's not always the same port it's probably but not definitely the switch.
