We know that he lost connectivity for 13 minutes. As you said, there are many reasons why this might be so, and several were suggested. The two most likely are: 1) power loss to the switch 2) somebody disconnected the cable, then replaced it Clearly, however, it isn't port negotiation - not over 13 minutes. Unfortunately, he probably doesn't have a central syslog server that collects data from hosts and other equipment, because that's the only way to tell for sure. Things like UPS power loss/fluctuation notifications, switch bootup notifications, etc., in the syslog would provide the necessary data.
