Identify any components with a problem and recommend a solution to correct each
problem.

Also, I noticed the switch port configurations seem inconsistent; some ports might be disabled or set to wrong VLANs, which could prevent certain PCs from connecting even if cables are fine. Double-checking port status could help.

Could be a bad patch cable or wrong switch port config causing no link.

Looks like some cables show continuity issues in the test results—I'd start by replacing those faulty cables first. Also, checking the switch ports for errors or misconfigurations might explain why some PCs aren’t connecting. Anyone else think the problem might be with the switch or just the cabling?
