Troubleshoot Port Link-Down errors

If the X family device indicates that the ports are unable to establish link, check the connections on the device. If you use a copper-fiber translator (such as Netgear) and it is disconnected or loose, the device driver will attempt to re-initialize the port several times before timing out and placing the port in an Out-of-Service mode.

Netgear does not support auto-negotiation. When you remove the copper cable or the cable is loose, Netgear does not attempt to auto-negotiate with the device.
