Anyone ever encounter this issue?: Using a Black Box TS027A-R2 ethernet tester to test the 10/100 ports rather than connect a device to every port on a WS-C3524-XL-EN. The Black Box tests ports successfully. Then to compare, the WS-C3524-XL-EN is configured and connected to devices rather than just use the Black Box tester. Result - none of the ports are working.
Called in to Black Box Tech support and after a short conversation detailing the issue, the CSR informed me that when testing Cisco, they advise you not to use the TS027A-R2 or any standard Black Box ethernet tester. Because of how a Cisco switch handles the pulse from the tester, it can give false readings. They advised tester to use is the TPAM128335. Comments, advise and other experience appreciated.
