Finding a Disconnected Cable

StackWise cables connect all stack members. Port 2 on Switch 1 connects to Port 1 on Switch 2.

This is the port status for the members:

Switch# show switch stack-ports summary
Switch#/ Stack Neighbor Cable Link Link Sync # In
Port# Port Length OK Active OK Changes Loopback
Status To LinkOK
-------- ------ -------- -------- ---- ------ ---- --------- --------
1/1 OK 2 50 cm Yes Yes Yes 0 No
1/2 OK 2 50 cm Yes Yes Yes 0 No
2/1 OK 1 50 cm Yes Yes Yes 0 No
2/2 OK 1 50 cm Yes Yes Yes 0 No

If you disconnect the cable from Port 2 on Switch 1, these messages appear:

%STACKMGR-4-STACK_LINK_CHANGE: Stack Port 1 Switch 2 has changed to state DOWN
%STACKMGR-4-STACK_LINK_CHANGE: Stack Port 2 Switch 1 has changed to state DOWN
