A technician connects two CX switches with a fiber uplink. Users on the access switch cannot reach a server in another subnet. The link LEDs at both ends are dark, and both uplink ports report down. Which check should the technician perform first?
- A.Check uplink VLAN membership and the allowed VLANs on both switches.
- B.Check the clients' default gateway and routes to the server subnet.
- C.Check the fiber cabling, optics, and interface state at both ends.Correct answer
- D.Check spanning-tree port roles and root selection for the affected VLAN.
Why this is correct
Dark link LEDs and down uplink ports indicate that a usable link has not been established. Inspect the fiber cabling, optics, and interface state at both ends first. Although the remote server makes gateway and routing checks relevant, Layer 3 forwarding depends on an operational underlying link; routing checks cannot explain the missing link.
