Switch Problem

caraway602

Hi All,
I am currently setting up a network to help me in my studies for the test. Right now I have a DecBrouter that is connected to port 3 of my Cisco Cataylist 2820 switch. I have a Cisco 4000 series router plugged into the switch's port 2. Port one on my switch is going to a hun that is to connect to the rest of my existing network. I do not seem to be getting any connectivity. When I view the config settings for port one on the switch, it tells me "Suspended-no-linkbeat." Is this the reason that I am not linking to the rest of my network? What exactly does this line mean?

Are you using a crossover cable for your switch->switch connections?

Is your cable good?

This means that there was no electricity detected on the line.
