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 10-4) or show interfaces brief in
the CLI (page 10-8).
To display information about the transceivers installed on a switch, enter the
show tech transceivers command in the CLI (page 10-15).
