So today I found out a problem with a printer that was in a back room and I was told it didn't work....
So I did the normal stuff....
check the cable....
do a test page....
reboot printer...
...still nothing....
toned the wire.... it toned fine...
checked the wires, all 8 came back peachy....
...still nothing....
Looked at the printer closely, it had a box attached to it hidden behind some books with a parallel cable (they still make them!?! ... I muttered) ... I looked at the box...it's a Jetdirect 170x....
But wait look at the number next to the RJ-45!
This soon followed!
interface Gi1/0/47
spanning-tree portfast
exit
!
interface Gi1/0/48
speed 10
spanning-tree portfast
exit
!
interface Gi2/0/1
spanning-tree portfast
exit
!
--More-- or (q)uit
....problem resolved....
seriously 10baseT is still used I thought, /facepalm!
