I assume the next step is the switch port check?

Thanks,

@mykyYes, please cross check ports at switch end.

@myky,

The fact that one of your ports are simply failing negotiation points to a switch configuration issue, so I would have that verified to actually be configured correctly. If you post the interface configurations here we can likely tell you if something is misconfigured. 

I also wanted to point out that it's time to start thinking about a software update on this firewall. 7.1.25 has been out for a long time and is currently the recommended release within that branch, since you have active security vulnerabilities that aren't patched in 7.1.16 I would plan that sooner rather than later. You will also want to update to 8.1 or later before March 29, 2020 when 7.1 goes end of life

@BPry cheers! Yeas, we are aware of the EoL. We have moved to 8.1.x release for now.

I will check switch, thanks guys
