Routing and Switching / Re: Help isolating a switch
June 17, 2017, 08:22:16 AM
*Update* Thanks for the help guys....really appreciate it. As for issue I might have found the solution but not 100 percent sure, there is a amx processor in each house on the property that controls each unit like light,music,pool,doors,cameras etc......the amx for the beach villa was acting very funny when I was testing the fiber link...it would all of a sudden just go blank when i disconnect the fiber which was bringing the internet in. That should not happen because its a p.o.e device on the network and should not need the internet to work however....

Maybe how it was configure but somethings definitely wrong....I emailed the head IT guy for the site because he lives in new jersey but still no response. At this point I will have to wait because he has everything configure and lock up.. Also I moved the amx to a different port on a different switch and the internet has not drop since...I still would like to know why but will have to wait..

Thanks for the help guys

There is about 9 houses on the property and all is connecting back to the main villa with fiber directly.... there is however a split in the middle of the property which connects the beach house to the main villa... I tested the fiber and lights passing through fine. Will try what you said on monday when I get back onsite. If you have any other ideas I'm all ears. Thank you

Routing and Switching / Help isolating a switch

Hey guys, I have little problem that I need help troubleshooting. The company I work for has this client that has about 28 switches onsite, now the problem is one building is always dropping internet statues about every 5 or 10 minutes...sometimes even a couple hours at a time.
I called the local internet provider and they said no issues with fiber in the area, so I isolated the problem to a switch on one side of the property... Now I could just plug out one plug at a time and see whats causing the problem but its 4 x48 port switches on that side of the property.

Is there a way I can further diagnose the problem? It just started about 4 days ago...the property manager said that they was power outages in the area earlier so maybe something on the network is not stable maybe??? They are all POE switches btw

Hi, I'm new to the forums...I have  been working in the IT field for about 1 year and 6 months now and sad to say I'm just starting on the path of studying for certs. Originally I had plan to take A+ and Net + but as time went by I started working with alot of cisco products and running basic commands on the regular... so I now am studying for my ICND1 then taking my ICND2 in 2 months time...should have my CCNA by August. After getting my CCNA I want to take a microsoft exam becuase I also work with servers on a daily basis. Glad I found this forum!!!
