Intermittent loss and slow file copies from one wiring closet

TroubleshootingWorking

The ticket

Since Monday, users on the third floor say file copies to the file server crawl and video calls break up a few times an hour. Users on the second floor, who hang off the same distribution switch, have no complaints. Floor 3 is VLAN 30 (10.30.0.0/24, gateway 10.30.0.1 on DSW1). ASW3 is a Catalyst 9300 with one 10GBASE-LR uplink over single-mode fiber to DSW1 Te1/1/3. Nothing was changed on either switch.

Floor 3 complains and floor 2, on the same distribution switch, does not. What do you do first?
