HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
I'm having a problem with some of my 4108gl switches. I'll get a complaint that a device is not getting any network connectivity. When I look at the switch, there will be a link light, but the activity light flashes really slow. I'll plug the patch cable into another port and the device works fine. On several occasions, when a port goes bad like this, several other ports on the same module will go bad and usually all of the bad ports are physically "close" to each other (e.g. ports 17,18,23,24).
I'll eventually replace the module with one of our spares. When place the module with the "bad" ports in my test switch, all of the ports work.
This has happened on switches in several building on different subnets. Any ideas?

Re: HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
4108gl was a bad design from the very beginning (at least compared to 4000M/8000M series, which are extremly robust, with high MTBFs)- as part of lifetime warranty HP should provide their customers with re-engineerd backplanes and modules when these fail: they could easily win more clients in the ProCurve camp than by using the current practice/policy of providing replacemnts that were just "refurbished"!!!

Re: HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
In regards to this problem description though, it's not something I've come across before. Which type of module is it occurring on?

Re: HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
HP has been very good about replacing the modules, but I'm suspecting they are not the problem.

Re: HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
I 04/16/07 23:38:29 ports: port E24 is now off-line
I 04/16/07 23:38:29 ports: port E24 is Blocked by LACP
I 04/16/07 23:38:29 ports: port E24 is now off-line
Rebooting the switch or resetting the module is obviously not a great solution.
I'm not familliar with LACP. Could that have something to do with it? The LACP setting are just the defaults.

Re: HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
I have a 4104GL and am experiencing exactly the same problem, down to the log entries and the fact that the ports are in close vacinity.
This switch has been operational for going on 3 years now and this is the first time that i have experienced this problem.
Did you every find a resoultion?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
Regards
Will

Re: HP 4018GL Switch Port Problem
Personally I turn LACP off on all ports, the only time i have ever had to put this back is when a dual nic server is plugged into the switch and then LACP can be used to create a dynamic trunk.
