Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips 5 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your switch. This document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting on the switch using the software tools available with the switch, including the full-featured console interface, the built-in web browser interface, and ProCurve Manager, the SNMP-based network management tool.
PAGE 70
Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Tips Troubleshooting Caution Because the switch behaves in this way (in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient communications between the switch and the device.

PAGE 78
Troubleshooting Hardware Diagnostic Tests Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling Troubleshooting Network cables that fail to provide a link or provide an unreliable link between the switch and the connected network device may not be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T standards. The twistedpair cables attached to the Switch must be compatible with the appropriate standards. To verify your cable is compatible with these standards, use a qualified cable test device.
PAGE 79
Troubleshooting Restoring the Factory Default Configuration As part of your troubleshooting process on the switch, it may become necessary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self-test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting the IP address, if one is configured.

B Cabling and Technology Information This appendix includes network cable information for cables that should be used with the Switch 6600, including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair cables. Note Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN communications. ProCurve recommends that you work with a qualified LAN cable installer for assistance with your cabling requirements. Cabling specifications Table B-1.
PAGE 86
Cabling and Technology Information Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking cables that work for 100Base-TX connections should also work for 1000Base-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust connections you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/ TIA/EIA-568-A-5).

Cabling and Technology Information Mode Conditioning Patch Cord Mode Conditioning Patch Cord The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiberoptic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port or a 10-Gigabit LRM port. Multimode cable has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires the transmission signals be “conditioned” to compensate for the cable design and thus prevent resulting transmission errors.
PAGE 89
Cabling and Technology Information Mode Conditioning Patch Cord Installing the Patch Cord As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the ProCurve transceiver with the section of single mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.
