GS116Ev2 and GS105Ev2 speed issues

I say that because I noticed that when plugging its cable into the 116, I noticed during the speed negotiation that the port LEDs would turn off for 5+ seconds, then on, then off again for 5+ seconds, etc. for a few cycles before stabilizing to a 1Gb connection.
I assume that is the 116 checking for connectivity issues at the link level, right? If so, does this indicate that it encountered errors and was trying to handle them? Or is it possible that the 105 on that line is bad? I don't notice this behavior on any of the other connections...
