Hello Keith,
I have had the same problem and I had to actually send the switch back
to Cisco, they eventually ended up replacing mine.
Here is link to error message:
A POST failure usually means that there is physical damage to the
interface. If an Ethernet Controller which controls four interfaces
fails, it results in the failure of those ports. A common cause of
such damage is ESD. For Catalyst 2900XL switches, the issue is
documented in the Cisco bug ID CSCdm13915 ( registered customers
only) .
Failure of any of these diagnostic tests is normally fatal and usually
requires a Return Material Authorization (RMA) to resolve the problem.
To be sure of this, reset the switch with a console connection
established and capture the actual bootup diagnostic information, then
create a service request with Cisco Technical Support.
Sincerely,
John Matijevic, CCIE #13254
