The interface remain in physical status down.

The first thing to do is to check if transceiver is properly plugged and if it receives the required amount of signal. Check below command, we can see that the signal value for TX and RX are inside the signal thresholds. So we will need to

Since the signal level is correct, I suggest to the customer the following troubleshooting steps:

1. disable auto-negotiation, and set speed and duplex manually. 

[R5_U11_S5710-EI]int gi0/0/28
[R5_U11_S5710-EI-GigabitEthernet0/0/28]undo negotiation auto                    
[R5_U11_S5710-EI-GigabitEthernet0/0/28]speed 1000                               
[R5_U11_S5710-EI-GigabitEthernet0/0/28]duplex full           

2. Try to perform a software loopback on the physcal port. Check the status:

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/28
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/28] loopbacktest internal

3. Perform a physical loopback on the S5700 switch, and connect the same fiber segment on two ports on the same S5700 switch, in this way we can confirm if the port, transceivers and fiber is not faulty.

Following the troubleshooting steps we manage to find out that negotiation status on both ends is not consistent.

We disable negotiation on the S5700 interface and the link came up.

Try to get information about interface status from both equipments, otherwise you will have to perform different operations one by one, which may become very time consuming.
