• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

  Stacking of front port / user is not supported

• 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?

• Where can I submit a PowerConnect 6248 panic?

  Hello

  I just upgraded a PowerConnect 6248 3.3.5.5 at 3.3.7.2 switch and took the panic over the serial console stack trace.

  I've now returned to the 3.3.5.5 and want to submit the stack trace. Email support is not available for me.

  Where should I send it?

  Thank you!

  The support number is 1-800-945-3355

  Please do not hesitate to send it to me, I can take a look.

• 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.

  Thank you.

  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 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

  fast interface 0/1

  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.
