Produced logs:
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/18, changed state to administratively down
%GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port Gi0/18 has bad crc
%PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: gbic-invalid error detected on Gi0/18, putting Gi0/18 in err-disable state
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/18, changed state to down



This could be associated with a problem in SFP.
Check if the SFP is correctly connected, and if it is a Cisco SFP!
