Console port (serial) on Powerconnect 6248 switch

Hi all

I have two powerconnect 6248 s. The first I've had for several months. The second, I just ordered recently.

I can't go to the console in to the second switch. I use the same settings (minicom) and cable that I use regularly to connect to the first switch.

Any thoughts on how to solve this problem? I don't see any startup dialog after resetting the switch 2.

Thank you

Looks like you have experienced just about everything that you can. You checked restarted cable, the emulator settings, confirmed working on the other switch, switch, and the default value and it still does not work. It sounds more like it could be a hardware problem with this port. Is the unit still under warranty?

  • My PowerConnect 6248 switch loses its settings when disconnected from the power

    Hello

    I'll put up a PowerConnect 6248 switch on my local network through Web interface (I can't use serial to do).

    I put the IP, login, password, a LAG, SNTP server address, etc.

    It works fine until I unplugged the power cord to the switch to simulate a power outage. When I plugged in the power cord, the switch will reboot by displaying its default settings and I release all of mine.

    Y at - it a specific command, I missed to save all my settings in the switch?

    Thank you for your help.

    Pascal.

    The switch has two separate configuration locations, a running configuration and startup configuration. This allows you to change configuration and test running before engaging them in the startup configuration. Once you have the running configuration, how you want it, you need to run the # copy running-config startup-config command, or just copy # run start.

  • Blocking MAC address on PowerConnect 6248 switch

    Hello

    I have a PowerConnect 6248 switch where we want to block a specific MAC address from the rest of the network.

    I created a list of MAC access with the following commands:

    Console (config) #mac access-list extended BLOCK
    Console (config-mac-access-list) #deny 001D.09D4.B08E ffff.ffff.ffff all

    Console (config-mac-access-list) #permit a whole

    I then apply it to all interfaces:

    console (config) #mac group-access BLOCK

    What ends by goes, is that all hosts connected to the switch are blocked when my rule should only be blocking the host with mac address 001D.09D4.B08E.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    Have you tried changing your statement to:

    Console (config-mac-access-list) #deny 001D.09D4.B08E 0000.0000.0000 everything

    Ok. Finally I found the downtime. We had to add a new switch of the battery.

    I took 1/xg1 cable and put it in the 4\xg1 port to connect to the new switch.

    Also updated to the latest firmware.

    Result:

    -There was no errors for 2 the first 2 days.

    -first 8 mistakes happened today on port 4/xg1

  • PowerConnect 6248 switch for Cisco router

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum and I have a problem at the moment between a Cisco router and a dell pc6248. The problem is that I lost conectivity in VLAN 1 when I connect the router to a trunk port in the switch, however I conectivity VLAN 2 through this link to trunk. The configuration of the switch:

    interface ethernet 1/g48

    switchport mode trunk

    switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1-2

    output

    interface ethernet 1/g43

    switchport mode access

    switchport access vlan 2

    output

    On router

    no ip address

    no downtime

    fast interface 0/1.1

    encapsulation dot1q 1 native

    IP 192.200.3.1 255.255.255.0

    fast interface 0/1.2

    encapsulation dot1q 2

    IP 192.168.51.33 255.255.255.248

    output

    With the above configuration, I lost conectivity with the host in the vlan 1 - 192.200.3.x/24, but I win conectivity VLAN 2, when I connect the router to the 48 trunk port in the switch. This means that the trunk link for VLAN 2 work but not for VLAN 1.

    I read on the port of general mode, where I can configure the pvid of the port as 1 (vlan1) and it would be the unttag VLAN (even natively in Cisco), and I can configure the VLAN 2 like the tag, all this in the same port. What do you think about this? Someone have set up something like that?

    Best regards

    Erasmo

    PD: I write from Chile, I apologize for my English.

    I agree with you, I would try the general mode on the PowerConnect switch.

    mode console # switchport general

    Console # switchport General allowed vlan add 2 tag

    Console # switchport pvid General 1

    Keep us updated.

  • The PowerConnect 6248 switch, RAY and selected methodological issues

    I think this should be simple enough, but doesn't work that way. I have multiple 6248 and a handful of other switches in PC and I'm RADIUS deployment as primary authentication mechanism. I'm going through some preliminary tests here and a simple thing is not just to work this way. Profile networklist I put RAY first of all that the method of selection and LOCAL for the second. The RADIUS user authenticates very well, but while trying to search the LOCAL user, it is rejected. I thought that if the local user is not found by DEPARTMENT policy, he is sent to the next method? I'm only using telnet for the moment method before changing the HTTP methods. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Could answer my own question here, but I think that the NPS server should probably 'time' or not meet the demand of the initial authentication for the local aspect until you reach? have not tested, but may do so shortly.

  • N2048 vs PowerConnect 6248 switch

    Hello

    I would like to ask the professional.

    For the communication of internal servers of our company, what to spend more powerful N2048 or PC6248?

    We would like to use only ports of the team, LAG. No VLAN, no routing. Just "layer 2".

    Thank you.

    Best regards

    MAxim Krol

    Hi, Maxim,.

    If you do not give me layer 2 the N2000 is the newer model. It has several CPU memory 1 GB vs. 256 MB and increased capacity of fabric and a faster transfer rate.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Incoming packets were discarded on Dell 6248 switch

    Hello guys,.

    I'm having a problem on my network. From time to time the icmp echo packets are lost and this causes our monitoring system trigger false alarms.

    I checked interfaces for switches and found the discarded packet counter is incremented in one of them.

    Flow control is enabled on the interface and there is no frame break sent.

    The duplex on both ends are correct are the port speeds.
    The firmware of the switch is 3.3.9.1 and the model is a PowerConnect 6248 switch.

    Humm,

    We have changed our duo of remote of a failure wan link and the interface mistakes of count stop. Everything is the same: traffic, applications, etc. Not a clue about what happened because there is a Linux between the equipment of the carrier and the switch (bad packets would have fallen in the interface of linux machine).

    We turn now to the carrier of the explanations/solutions.

    Thank you for your time!

  • PowerConnect 6248 - Crossover (MDIX) Configuration

    Is it possible to configure a single port with the PowerConnect 6248 MDIX switch?  I can't find any reference in the manual of the CLI.

    The switch is automatically, no manual setting.

    Page 25 of the user guide:

    Support auto-MDI/MDIX

    The switch supports automatic detection between the direct and cross cables.

    Media-Dependent Interface (MDI) is the standard wiring for terminal stations and standard for wiring

    hubs and switches is known as Media - Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX).

    See you soon
