Cevap

Inspect the status LED link lights on the network interface card and switch port.
Inspecting the link status lights on both the computer's network adapter and the connected network port is the essential first step when troubleshooting a 'cable unplugged' error. The link LED indicates whether an electrical or optical connection is established at the physical layer (Layer 1).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the reported symptom
The operating system reports a disconnected network cable (Layer 1 failure).
Troubleshooting methodology dictates starting at the physical layer when physical disconnection is reported.
2
Examine physical layer indicators
Check the network interface card (NIC) LED link light and the corresponding switch port link light.
If the link lights are off, there is a physical cable, port, or NIC hardware failure that must be addressed before higher-layer testing.
