Connecting Cisco switch to Netgear Hub
I have a Cisco Catalyst 1900 switch (24 ports along with A and B) that I am trying to set up. When I connect it to the Netgear hub (which has working internet), the switch does not see the network/internet. If I move the switch over to the location of a previously working switch and plug in the network cables, it works fine.
When connected to the Netgear hub, the "Status of port" for the cable between the hub and the switch says "Suspended-no-linkbeat". When I move the Cisco switch to a different location with a working switch and hook it up, I get the "Status of port" saying "Enabled".
Is there a known conflict between Cisco switches and Netgear hubs? Or am I unable to connect a Cisco switch to a hub in general?
Thanks in advance,
