If other ports on the same switch, with the same configuration work, just this single one doesn't, and if you have changed cables; you may as a last check swap the cables between your port 2/1/41 and another port, to verify if the previously working device from good to bad port now doesn't work, and the device from bad to good does work. Then you isolated everything to just the port.
Also, visually inspect the network port if there is any dust or so inside of it; which is quite rare, but could be the case.
One last thing to check is if the interface 2/1/41 is configured as a VSF (stacking) port; with 'show vsf link' you can see which ports are assigned to VSF. If the interface is a VSF port, it is excluded from normal operations; but someone should have configured the port as VSF.
If none of the above resolves your problem, I would open a TAC case and after they have validated the same things we have done, an RMA replacement may be initiated for the switch.

Other ports assigned to VLAN 120 on that same switch work correct? Did you try a different device? Does VLAN 120 have DHCP enabled?

It could be an endless number of things. Is VLAN 120 correct? Does a different device work? Bad cable?

The command (example for interface 1/1/1):
show running interface 1/1/1
should provide all configuration on the port. If there is any security/lockdown, it should be mentioning in the configuration.

How do i check a port on a ARUBA6300 to see if that port is locked to a mac address as no device will work on that port. I have link and connectivity but wont pull and IP. Support has been slow and hard to understand
