minus-squareSpikesOtherDog@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoIt’s up to the hardware vendor to code the lights. You should see if you can find who makes the chip and get an idea of what they mean. If you get both lights with no cable connected at both ends, you have a hardware issue. Both lights could mean full speed, or half duplex, or a wiring error. No blink blinky means no activity usually What is the device? If it’s a computer, what os? What motherboard or specific model? Do other devices work on that same cable? What is the other end plugged in to?
minus-squareAlexstarfire@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoI see the problem. You’ve caused an infinite loop. Gotta cut one of the cables so the data can get out.
minus-squarePasserby6497@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoIt’s really bad design having cables like that. You need to shift them all over by one so you can have a port for intake and for outflow. Not a bad plan for storing packets for travel though.
minus-squarePossibly linuxOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI went ahead and mounted this in the rack. I cut every other loop and then wired the free ports into the core switch. I think made sure STP was off on all devices. (That’s how you avoid malware)
