The port will take upto 50 seconds to come up. This is due to Spanning Tree Protocol. The switch is making sure you do not have a switching loop. For all the switch ports that are attached to and end node (workstation, printer..etc) you should enable PortFast. Then the port will come up in a few seconds.
