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.

  • 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

  • How to remove a logical Partition without disturbing the other

    Hello, I recently ran into some trouble.

    As you can see from the picture, there are little free space next to the D: (10.55 GB) drive. I want to merge the free space with the 5 GB unallocated space and want to create a primary partition to install another version of windows. The problem is that when I right click the free space, the partition option delete is gray. I discovered that to delete the D: drive to get space but I can't do that. Even my backup drive is full.

    You can merge only the free and not allocated using a third-party partitioning tool and not the built in tool of victory.

  • Restart an animation without refreshing the page HTML

    I am looking for a way to reload animation on demand, but without refreshing the page HTML (which is no JS window.location.reload () method, say with a simple click of a button. Direct application would be a button to restart the game.

    It's probably something that could be useful to many people.

    Once the composition is ready to use, why would you want to reload the entire composition again.

    An example for the game:

    When you click on the play button, you load the composition once. Playback of the animation until the end.

    Then you can set the visibility of the animation in 'hidden' using the script. And show a button "Restart" instead.

    In the handler for the button click "restart", set the visibility back to 'visible' and read the animation again.

  • Choice of the COM ports without disturbing the user

    I am writing a LabVIEW application that uses at least 2 COM ports.  It will compile to run on different computers.  Now, I expect that to any one machine COM ports will remain fixed, but there is no way I can wait devices series that I use to make it appear in the same COM port on all the different machines (especially since some will have legacy RS232 ports, any other USB RS232 converters).

    It is a problem that I solved before when programming in 'C', by putting a text file on each PC, which, in the spirit of a name of INI file which COM port is used for each of the devices, I need.

    It occurs to me that I can do exactly the same thing in LabVIEW, open a text file and parse to see which COM ports are named, then use the number that results as the selector of a structure of MATTER, in which each case has a constant (VISA resource) COM1, COM2, and so on.

    It of crazy, or is there an easier way?

    To try it out, a problem occurs, and it is that I can not create constants for ports that do not exist on the computer I developed it on (I use 2009).  Well, I can go in the WIndows Device Manager and do a reallocation to finally get a full set of COM ports for my CASE structure, but I can trust to LabVIEW to not change because ports disappear?

    Thank you

    p.s. I think that this is my first post, came here often before but always found the answer without affectation.  My apologies if this point is already covered, but it seems a little too "woolly" to lend itself to the research without getting tens of thousands of results.

    You don't need a deal structure for each port.

    You can use the variant data to convert a string into a VISA reference name.

    Attached is an excerpt from one of my programs, I retrieve Comport settings from a configuration .ini file.

    There are a few things of special on this subject.

    1. I used a typedef had enum that designates each of my interest com ports.

    2. I have stored reference to the port com VISA in a global variable functional so I can use them elsewhere.  Typedef enum is important as part of the selection to get the correct reference to the FGV.

    3. I used a public OpenG function get strings to enum so that my string name that I use for the value of the key and enum are cross referenced.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How can I get rid of a 'sidebar' (an additional site without on the left of the screen) that is still there after restarting Firefox and even cold, start the computer?

    I opened a Web site of the library without specifying "in a new tab. I expected to crush the existing active tab. Instead, he opened in a demi-fenetre on the left, without tab and without all the icons "Min/Max/Close. I can not close it even by restarting Firefox or stop and start the computer. He now appears on each screen in Firefox with each tab. I note the address of the site to be replaced, but the offending site is https://servicing.capitalone.com/c1/login.aspx.

    There is an 'X' in the top right of the sidebar.
    You can replace it with a different sidebar; Therefore, you can use "Ctrl + B" to bring up the sidebar bookmarks, use "Ctrl + B" once more to turn it took off.

    Click on the star to bookmark to bring up the bookmark, in the lower left corner, if you see the following, uncheck the box.

    [X] load this bookmark in the sidebar.

    You can right click a bookmark to display the bookmark properties, uncheck the "load this bookmark in the sidebar".

    In the sidebar

    1. Right-click to bring up the Page Info
    2. Triple - click the url
    3. use "Ctrl + B" to bring up the Bookmarks Sidebar
    4. Paste the url in search, then right click on the found object to bring up the bookmark properties

    In the list of Favorites library there is unfortunately no column in the list of library of favorites for this feature, but you can click on the bookmark and properties will be displayed on the box under the same information, if you see a drop-down list "gone" click to view the list of properties.

    If you want to see the extent that you have these bookmarks you export our bookmarks in bookmarks.html file and then view the source and use of find for WEB_PANEL = "true" - I have the extension 'Search all', so I can see how many times the string occurs and where.

    It has a turbulent history, it is useful as a reference column, but it was destroyed in Firefox 3, after use in a link, use, restoration of use later but not keyworded bookmarks and not places links both where it makes sense to break. Remained at does not not for keywords because they wanted to destroy the mot-cle--Word key lost for a year in the beta version of Firefox 3. Now, it must be eliminated because few people (can) use it (properly), but they will make this inaccessible box first - someone ' else see the additional error with that.

  • Disabling update the configuration file without stopping the VI

    I would like to perform a function that when the new modules are added in the existing system of the public Service or hot swapping modules autour, the VI can update its configuration file. I don't want the VI to stop we will collect data 24/7.

    I use cFP2220 and two or three modules of different types. I have my work VI and it is fairly straightforward FP read.vi in a time loop. All data are stored in the database using the Labview database tool. My screws are hosted on the local PC, not on the controller. I'm using Labview 8.6.

    I guess I have to get the file configuration (iak), whenever new modules are added, the iak file can be changed (without MAX aperture). In any case, I would have the flexibility to run the VI continuous. I know there is a similar code here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3221and they get the configuration file in the ini file. But I don't know how it's done as I can save only the configuration file as a file iak for FP system.

    Another potential problem associated with that, I guess, is the database format. For now, I use a three column structure, i.e., DateStamp, value and ChannelID. In this case, if I want to add/remove/swap channels, I can just change the ID of the corresponding channel. What happens if I have a horizontal arrangement of the database, namely 10 columns corresponding to 10 sensors, would he be in trouble if I change channels modules?

    Thank you very much.

    There is a way to change the module and programmatically updated the IAK file without stopping the VI.  You will need to change the FP read.vi front right by with the constant e/s FieldPoint.  You will need to use the Open FP, FP create Tag, read FP, and close to the public Service.  The trick to this is that you must pre-create files IAK in MAX first.  The way to do is to set up your cart in a configuration and then find devices to MAX.  Then save the iak.  Then reorganize your bottom of basket to the next setting would have desired, then have MAX find devices and who save in a file different iak.  You will need to do this for each configuration you have.  Then, you need to place the code below when you want to Ministry the configuration file.  I have also included a screenshot of MAX that you can see what the strings are correlated with.
