Devices
If the switch either fails to show a link between an installed transceiver and
another device, or demonstrates errors or other unexpected behavior on the
link, check the port configuration on both devices for a speed and/or duplex
(mode) mismatch. To check the mode setting for a port on the switch, use
either the Port Status screen in the menu interface (page 10-5) or show
interfaces brief in the CLI (page 10-7).
