• Dell PowerConnect 7048 P reference stack Questions

  Hello

  I have two switches in L3 7048P I want the battery but I'm not sure how it works. The two switches have the same firmware.

  1 must. the two have the same configuration running on both to make it work?

  2. in addition, I created a VLAN (3) voice on the first switch with an IP address of 10.0.3.254. I use the same IP address on the second switch in the VLAN 3 addresses or assign another?

  Thank you!

  There is a guide especially for stacking switch 7048 on the Dell page networking white papers:

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../2580.Networking-guides.aspx

  Just search "Dell PowerConnect 7000 Series Switches stacking".  Page 16 will tell you how to add a new Member to the battery with minimum interruptions. Both can present the same firmware in order to stack.  So the answer to question 1 is no, the configurations do not need correspond to stack them.  Once stacked, both will look like a single switch, and you use only the IP address of the master swtich to the whole stack.  Therefore, treat the two switches as a single switch during Setup.  The guide provides more information on how it works.

  Hope this has been helpful.

• Question about Powerconnect M6220 and out-of-band/management 8024-K connection

  I'm sorry if this question belongs to another section, but with regard to the functionality of these switches I thought I would start here.

  My question is, the M6220 and 8024-K out-of-band connection are going through the connections on Board (for example port 18 for example) or through connection of the M1000e CMC?

  The reason for this question. We recently vlaned our network and CMC modules are VLAN 8 (10.100.8.0 255.255.248.0) and management of our switches is supposed to be on the VLAN 1 (10.100.1.0 255.255.255.0). I can't ping on the affected IPS (IE 10.100.1.15), but our CMC modules are fully accessible (IE10.100.9.120). Our blades are fully accessible and can access all the VLANS on them (they are the ESX host).

  Finally, I'm sorry if all necessary information has been provided, I'm not so much a networking guru.

  Thoughts?

  Thanks for your help

  The OOB interface is connected to the chassis management controller by the median plane of the chassis. Traffic on this

  port is separated from network traffic operating on the switch ports and cannot be lit or routed to the operational network.

• Reference Dell Powerconnect 5324/5424 STP Configuration Question...

  Hey guys,.

  I have a basic > intermediate understanding of networking. I recently loaded the research in what seems at first sight be an STP issue on our corporate network. Without going into too much detail, I think I found the cause of the problem. Within our network, we have our basic switching infrastructure and then a second pair of switches / second a lot, much smaller network that "needs" to be completely isolated from the base and core STP network.

  However, I have discovered recently that this second network / set of switches are not as isolated as we thought. The second, network supposed to be isolated was installed by a 3rd party company - their statements being that the network should be completely independent of our core network and the only link between the two must be access / management connection so that we can telnet to these switches in the network of base if necessary.  However, I recently discovered that these switches on the isolated network are part of our STP! Not only that, but one of these switches is as root (as it has the smallest MAC address). It is through the management / access ports I think of BDPU must be get sent and received. Is there a way that I stop BDPU being sent and received during these management / access of connections between these two networks - therefore isolate the secondary network and making it create two instances of STP - one for the main network and the other for the secondary. We always request the ability to Telnet to these core network switches - I just need to block/filter STP on Internet access / management ports.

  Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this.

  With protocols spanning tree disabled on the port should not send BDPU frames.

• PowerConnect 6224 piling on XFP

  Hi all

  Just curious about something I've been trying to find a hard yes/no answer on but have had no luck.  Long story short, I'm looking to pick up a pair of 6224 switches and would set up in a pile.  I'm looking at the use of fibers to connect and wonder if the switches will allow me to configure FJ727 XFP modules for stacking or if they will only help stacking if you use the CX4, UY108 or GM765 modules for stacking.

  My other question is that if I can use the XFP module for stack, it will force the XG1 and XG2 XFP module to use for the stack, or can I configure a port for stacking and the other for a 10 GB uplink to my router?

  Joekamel,

  Only CX4 modules can be used for stacking on the PowerConnect 62xx switch.  You can find more information about all the modules supported for the 62xx under 'N-Series Switches of Campus' at the following link.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/networking/p/guides

  If you download the file called 'Expansion Modules for network switches Dell' and go to page 17, it it shows all five supported modules and shows only CX4 to stacking.

• 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.

• DHCP server press PowerConnect 28xx series / address pool by VLAN

  Hello

  I am reading the manual of the PowerConnect 2824.

  I am considering buying this switch, but I have a question related to the functionality of the DHCP server.

  Here my question: I want to have different VLAN and use the feature of DHCP server on each of them. Then can I have different address DHCP pools by VLAN?

  Example:

  1-16 ports VLAN1: IP subnet 192.168.1.0/24

  VLAN 2 ports 17-24: IP subnet 192.168.2.0/24

  The manual is not clear on this.

  Your help is welcome.

  Kind regards

  Tom

  Daniel,

  Thanks for the reply. Another question does this mean that the 28xx series switch DHCP server, recover the IP address (from the range configured) on all the VLANS configured? So if a device on VLAN 2 issued a request DHCP, it will get an IP address from the same pool as for example a device on VLAN 1.

  Kind regards

  Tom

• 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.

• 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:

• Need to update firmware PowerConnect 7024

  Hi all

  We are in need of a major update on our 7024 PowerConnect switch. It is running version 4.0.0.6 image, which I'm sure is super old account because I no longer display it in the list of versions of firmware. My question is this - if upgrade US 4.0.0.6 to the latest firmware of the 5.1.6.3, A19, we will have problems with the current configuration, given that we take it a great leap forward? Or would it be better to just update in increments from the firmware available earlier? Any help is greatly appreciated!

  4.x.x.x firmware is older, but you should have no problem go directly to the new firmware. I'll make sure that you have a backup of the running configuration, and then follow the update instructions included with the firmware download. Here is the link to the firmware, just in case you need it.

• 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 6224: Dell SFP + port supports combine Dell SFP?

  I have a Dell Powerconnect 6224 switch and I installed a Dual Port SFP + Module of adaptation for PowerConnect
  6200 series at bay2 at the rear of the switch. I inserted a transceiver, SFP 1000BASE-LX, wavelength 1310nm 10km Reach in the SFP slot + and the other end is connected to a connector SFP 1gbe. I don't have any link. My question is if Dell SFP ports + supports SFP transceivers or it only supports SFP transceivers +?

  I checked the ports to help an SFP + SFP +, 10GbE, copper Direct Attach cable Twinaxial, and link LEDs are lighting up.

  I believe that the SFP ports + back work with SFP transceivers. Ports before combo will work with SFP transceivers. Another thing to look at is the cable being used. Don't forget that there are specifications that are compatible with transceivers FPS are you wanting to use. A SFP + SFP connection would require that the SFP transceiver + supports a connection of 1 GB.

  Hope this info helps.

• PowerConnect 3548P Inter VLAN routing

  Hello

  I need to help the flow of traffic to and from our new voice VLAN 3. Here is our first series:

  3548P

  VLAN 1 (data) is 10.0.0.85/24

  VLAN 3 (voice) is 10.0.3.9/24

  The default gateway of our firewall is 10.0.0.254. Would it be the GW I set up for the switch? I am completely confused!

  We also have an another Powerconnect 5524P we want to connect to and route traffic as well. Do we need to add 3 VLAN in there too? If so, I wouldn't need to add a VLAN 3 management interface except perhaps default VLAN 1 correct?

  I guess my question is, what other options do I need to enable to do everything 'talk '? I should mention that we also have a Watchguard X550e. I have to configure something there?

  If you need more information or background, I can certainly provide.

  Thank you!

  Thanks for the update, good to hear VLAN routing works.

  Try to set the default gateway on the switch. You will use the IP address of the firewall.

  Example:

  Console (config) #ip - default gateway (IP address of firewall)

  If this does not work, then add a static route on the switch that directs traffic on the firewall.

  console (config) #ip 0.0.0.0 route 0.0.0.0 (IP address of firewall)
