1.
Check all cabling and connections. Make sure that cables are
not damaged and that all connections are correct and make
proper contact.
2.
Use the
show interfaces
exec command to check for input or
output errors, or other indications of problems on the media.
3.
If the command output shows excessive errors, use the clear
interface counter
privileged exec command to clear the
interface counters.
4.
Check the output of the
show interfaces
command again. If
the errors are incrementing rapidly, there is probably a
problem with the media.
