Always supply the following information when contacting Customer

 

Support for help:

 

• The scope and characteristics of the problem. How severe is the

 

problem? Is the switch dead? Are any of the ports malfunction-

 

ing? If so, which ports? Is the whole network down?

 

• A quick sketch of your configuration.

 

• Is the problem reproducible? If yes, how?

 

• Is it a new installation, or has it been running for a while?

 

• When was the last time it was working correctly? What has hap-

 

pened since then that might have affected the switch?
