Strange behavior
Hi,
I am having problems with one powerconnect 5224, all ports lasts too much time (about 30-40 seconds) to link to an external source (a pc, a server, other hub, etc), therefore some ports, suddenly are blocked. i disconnect the cable, plug it to an another port, it comes alive, then i connect it again to the port didnt work, and starts to work, i mean, from other machine i cant see it, but when i disconnect, and reconnect, it starts to work... is this behavior right? it is very strange
Regards,
Esteban

Are you running spanning tree - as typically you will have a delay of 40 -50 secs for spanning tree to ensure a new active port has not created a loop.
Have you tried using "portfast" or "Fastlink" which takes user/PC ports straight to forwarding more - rather than going through Listening - Learning - Forwarding stages of Spanning tree ?
