Insight managed switch port showing "Blocked"

We have a GC752X that has a port that shows up as "Blocked" in the Insight portal. We cannot figure out how to change this status or even what this status entails. It seems like traffic through that port is no longer flowing so any help to remedy the issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Consulting the logs might show it ws a DoS event shutting the port down. What is connected to the port 50?

      Port 50 is a fiber connection to another switch in the network. If the logs do suggest a DoS issue where would be have to go to resolve that.

        The problem might be that the generic DoS log isn't informative enough to isolate the real cause. Re-enable the port, and see if the issue does come back.
