Connection SAN Dell PowerConnect 6248

Our switch in our network is the Dell PowerConnect 6248. This switch has a SFP module.

I was wondering if I could use this module to connect my SAN [activeRAID 32 TB of storage active destocking] and have access to the storage as a network or NAS drive Bay.

To be more precise I'll be plugging the controller [HBA] San to the SFP module on the 624 of Dell PC via a cable Fibre Channel LC.

I'm new to SAN configuration and look for the best solution to access the storage on my network.

Everyone has implemented a San with the SFP Module before; If that set up your look like?

Fibre channel and ethernet/IP are not compatible protocols without another device that can translate. The 6248 has no support for FCoE. There are switches that support both they are called network switches convergent or unified, although generally the traffic is still separated.

  • Dell PowerConnect 6248 10 GB ports reference works do not

    Hello

    We have recently installed a module SFP + (part # c107d) in our Dell PowerConnect 6248 switch. The switch does not seem to see the module because before install us the plug-in, it showed a port xg3 xg4, and after the addition of the module, it shows that these ports.

    So I have a few questions:

    Is the SFP + above compatible with this model of switch?

    If so, how can verify us that the ports are active?

    Here is the result of the port details:

    Yes, this module is listed as compatible with the switch. It seems that you install in Bay 2? He may have listed these ports but they probably do not appear as active. Have you tried to make a connection with ports?

  • Stacking Module - Dell Powerconnect 6248

    Hello. I have a Dell Powerconnect 6248. This used to be a secondary switch in a stacked configuration (total of 2 switches). However, the captain then descended down we unplugged and it became the master of the battery. It is always configured in a configuration of the battery.

    My question is this: can I remove the stacking module card when the switch is on and in production?

    The reason is that I bought a new 6248 and repaired the old master as well and want to stack these two because they are both on the latest firmware. What is the best practice for this that I don't want to take down the switch by disconnecting the battery module.

    Let me know if you need more information!

    Thank you very much for any information!

    Unfortunately the stackable modules are not hot-swappable. You must turn off the appliance to remove the stacking module.

  • Port Mirroring a LAG on stacked Dell PowerConnect 6248 s

    Hello

    It is possible to port mirror use as a source, a SHIFT, consisting of 4 ports (2 in each Member of a set of 6248 s PowerConnect stacked). Whenever I'm trying to add the source, using GUI, I get an error:

    Error! There not together "Type" with "Tx and Rx" error occurred in FILTER_MISSING

    This allusion is what filter?

    I can't select a spring, unit 1 or unit 2, members of the LAG, like the gui only shows them not from the ports drop.

    Unfortunately, the switch is able to mirror individual ports as source ports. You can check this by trials of establishing a mirror session where the source port is not part of a LAG.

  • PowerConnect 6248 stacking using the front SFP Ports

    I am trying to stack two Dell Powerconnect 6248 switches. Currently they are chained together, but I modules fibre for the front sfp ports. Theoretically, I should be able to stack them. But when I try:

    stack 1/g45 #stack - port console (config-battery)

    Could not set the front panel stacking mode.

    Any ideas? Thank you!

    The PCT6200 requires a stack of modules installed in Bay 1 (XG1 XG2) at the rear of the switch. The stacking module uses CX4/Infiniband type stacking spacers.

  • Reference Dell PowerConnect 2824 remove connections, odd led models

    Hello

    We are noticed on some of our Dell PowerConnect 2824 switches that our devices are connected to the switch suddenly disconnected.  Our devices are a network of small size with the switch, where we connect up to 12 devices and use DHCP to assign IP addresses to the devices.  We also monitor the network with a Windows laptop.  We have also seen times where the switch itself seems to be restarted and shows amber LED light up successively from left to right on the top row of ports, then return on the bottom row.  I confirmed that we use version 1.0.0.45 software for the switch in question.

    We have also seen situations where all, except one device remains connected, but when trying to reconnect to the device has fallen, it seems that the switch seems to completely ignore the device regardless of the port where we connect to the switch.  We tried other cables, but the problem persists.  It's the kind of behavior that I could wait if the MAC addresses are not unique, but all of our devices have all custom MAC addresses.

    Another issue is that we use a very short lease period of one minute.  I don't know if this will get us in trouble.

    If you need more specific information, I'll try to answer your questions.

    Thank you.

    Bob

    Hi Bob,

    If it happens on several switches it is probably not a problem with the hardware switch. It could be a matter of Spanning Tree where it lacks a Hello and due to the lease really short DHCP is originally from the port to close before it can restore a link. You can try to turn STP or enabling quick link on the ports for end devices.

    Why do you have the DHCP lease on so little time for only 12 aircraft? It would add a lot of network traffic. You can try and have some machines on static IP and see if it still falls these ports.

  • PowerConnect 6248 routing problem

    Hi all

    I have a very frustrating problem with routing using a PowerConnect 6248 switch.

    Network configuration is the following:

    VLAN3

    172.16.0.254/24

    VLAN4

    192.168.0.254/24

    PC on each VLAN using the switch VLAN interface IP (x.x.x.254) as the gateways.

    Switch has configured default route to 192.168.0.248 which is a router with excess of 100 subnets frame relay cloud. 192.168.0.248 has routes suitable for all remote subnets via a serial interface, a static route to VLAN 3 (172.16.0.0/24) traffic through 192.168.0.254 and one way by default via a PIX 515 (192.168.0.253). Router and PIX is connected to access VIRTUAL 4 LAN ports. The PIX has a route to VLAN 3 traffic through 192.168.0.254.

    The problem is that VIRTUAL 3 all hosts on the local network cannot access the Internet. They can ping the gateways in the order - 172.16.0.254, 192.168.0.248 and 192.168.0.253. I have disabled IP forwarding on the router and the switch with no effect.

    I built this configuration in Cisco Packet Tracer 5.0 (it works) and we are running exactly the same IP configuration with a Nortel switch instead of the Dell 6248 (this also works).

    Absoloutely perplexed to find out what I'm missing! I also noticed that if I perform a traceback while in the CLI on the router using a source IP address of the interface VLAN that it blocks the interface on the switch.

    I would be very grateful to anyone who can punch me in the right direction.

    I've included the config switch below.

  • Restart Powerconnect 6248 without disturbing the Configuration

    I apologize in advance for the entry-level position and if that's the answer elsewhere, please point me in the right direction:

    I inherited load on a network LAG / VLAN with a central 2-battery Dell switch Powerconnect 6248 functioning as a main switch and routing of traffic between the VLANs that are shared it resources.

    I want to restart this switch without losing any configuration, because I'm just to enter this network, I don't want to disrupt or rebuild the configuration.

    I can get Telnet or SSH access to the switch but now use the GUI. When I go to reboot I choose to restart the two batteries and am met with the message:

    "The unit will restart with the startup configuration, not the running configuration. Do you want to continue? »

    I had a contractor separate network restart the switch before and I don't know if it simply ignored the message and proceeded. I would like to be able to restart this switch without losing any configuration.

    My question is, I'm ok to move forward through this error message? Or do I need to configure backup to restart? What is the best way to proceed with a simple reboot of two chimneys, while maintaining the current configuration.

    Here is the procedure, I suggest you take.

    -If the running configuration is operational and you want to keep on the switch, and then save it in the startup configuration.

    -before to restart, save the configuration.

    -Keep the battery restart.

    You can then use this backup config as a reference in case something happens to the configuration of the switch. It's a good idea to take the habit of saving after all change config, before the updates of the firmware, reboot, etc.

    Here is an article that will guide you through the commands to perform these actions.

    Thank you

    SE C.

    The switch has no easily replaceable parts on it. In this Youtube video, you get a glimpse of the inside of the switch and see that everything is everything on a single card.

    http://bit.LY/1QeQ4O4

    It sounds like a hardware problem, but you can try to reflash the firmware on the switch.

    If the switch will exhibit this behavior, then it should be replaced.

  • Reference Dell PowerConnect 3524 - "SW3P_callback_rx_frame - arp - scrapped intervention."

    Hello everyone.

    The company I work for, I test switches to see who is good and who is bad. I've already marked the switch in question as 'bad' for these mistakes - but I've never seen this error before. My colleagues have not either. Therefore, I ask the community what kind of error is what it means and whether it is potentially fixable.

    My device is a Dell PowerConnect 3524. He is currently out of warranty.

    What I did: I have deleted the startup configuration and then run the Setup Wizard. I put an IP address, gateway, and password. The rest, I left the default values. This configuration works on all switches that I have ever tested, including this model, so I think that this configuration is not serious.

    Then I plug in an ethernet cable in all ports and the other end into a very small 5 port switch that also has other trendy items above, the phone and my main computer. They all get internet, I don't think that there is a problem.

    I plug another cable in another port of the switch and the other end in a laptop sitting on top of the switch (my laptop test).

    I start ping the local firewall and run it with the "-t" parameter so it does not stop.

    It is fine for about 5-10 minutes usually. I can trade ports and others and she'll pick up ping soon and do what it is supposed to. After plugging into the wrong port, (7 or 8), I get the error "SW3P_callback_rx_frame - intervention arp - put the scrapped." and cannot pass traffic. PuTTY shows that the connection is established and transfer, but the ping is not possible.

    I am only an intern, this switch is not vital and will be sent to the "cemetery" and all my business done with switches will be. I am just curious to know what it is. Anyone know what it is and what could be done to solve the problem?

    Thank you for your time!

    I couldn't find any relevant information on this error message. With errors that occur only on specific ports and a new configuration, it really sounds as a kind of material error. Will there be another message that accompany this message? If you haven't already done so, re-flashing the firmware of the switch can help ensure that the message is not caused by an image that has become corrupt.

  • Blocking MAC address on PowerConnect 6248 switch

    Hello

  • Reference Dell PowerConnect 3048

    Hello!

    I have a Dell PowerConnect 3048 I want to use it on my home network. For now, my network is small, but as the days pass, he has grown. The problem, I'm running, even after the request of Google, is that I have a hard time finding a way to be able to configure this option. The switch has the power, and I also have the DB - 9 to Ethernet cable from the console.

    For this particular option, the console port is the business end of DB-9 while the end of Ethernet connects to what I presume, a computer. Again, the problem is when I connect the cable from the console of the computer, the switch and use HyperTerminal or PuTTY, I can't speak to this switch. I don't understand what I am doing wrong?

    A lot of reading and watching videos, I understand that some switches have a console, but on this particular switch Ethernet port, it doesn't have such a port. Please guide me on how I can talk to this switch so that I can get configured for my home network.

    Kind regards

    The original cable was a db9 to db9 cable. You can try another cable, like a db9 to usb.

    The switch's default IP address is 192.168.0.1. Then you could try a telnet connection too. See that you have a better success rate.
