stack a 3548 PowerConnect and 3524

HII
I am setting up a test lab to the office and found 2 switches PowerConnect (a 3524 & a 3548)
I know he can do stack by ports G3/G4, but I can't make it work... hope someone can enlighten me. ~

Here is what I have tried/fact:
Connect the right port 3548 G3 network cable to port 3524 G4. Reloaded units.
Assign address to 3548, connect to the console but under battery management, shows a single unit... Also infront (battery ID) LED does not glow.
Thought I might need to close the loop cumulation? Thus, even tried to connect a cable of 3548 G4 to G3 3524. But also does not work.

I'm their connection wrongly?

Thank you very much in advance! ~

This is a race to the bottom of the stack of switches.

CAT5e or Cat6 RJ45 cables must be used for the ports of stacking due to the necessary flow for traffic between the battery units. Standard CAT5 can lead to communication errors.

These steps must be done one at a time until all members of the battery are powered and their battery ID are selected. Performing a unit steps at a time will allow enough time to select the ID of the stack for each unit. However, the entire stack must be wired using the stacking ports before feeding devices.

The process of selection of ID unit is as follows:

1. turn power switch AC power.

Power, the number of LED set (corresponding to the unit ID) previously saved begins to Flash. The LED flashes for 15 seconds. During this period, select a specific ID of the battery by pressing the battery identification button until the ID stack appropriate light.

2 selection process - to advance the ID LED stacking number, continue to press the button for the identification of the battery. 6 LED flashing, press the button cell ID translates the device that is configured as a stand-alone. Press the button battery ID displays the ID of the battery 1. Unit 1 and unit 2 are compatible master units.

3. end process selection - cabin ID selection process is completed when the flashing period of 15 seconds has transpired. The battery ID button becomes unresponsive and the unit ID is set to the ID of the LED flashes at the end of the period.

Keep us updated,.

Thank you

  • 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.

  • stacking vs vlt - S4810 and MXL 10/40

    Hello

    I looked through the battery vs vlt article http://hasanmansur.com/2012/10/15/force10-s4810-stacking-vs-vlt/ and curious to know what Dell recommends for MXL and S4810 going on these days. I guess that even if these are the different types of switches, configuration, restrictions and features etc are similar.

    It seems that the firmware update is the key of the differential between the stack and the vlt. So update fw would get all the fabric on the configuration of the battery, but what of SUVs? VLT works very well when the fw update while peers are actually on different version?

    Thank you

    as much as I saw it, the only drawback is updated firmware that should be all the fabric on the configuration of the battery down. On the other hand, how vlt works during the upgradeHowever of the firmware in the different version update

    Regarding the VLT upgrade process, I was wrong, you do the second job first, then the primary. Just be sure to check that OTF notes for all stages of development.

    With a battery, you apply the image to the master and then propagate the upgrade of the master to other switches. This is the entire stack must restart to activate the new image.

  • Audio drops with BT stack 5.10.06 and stereo headset Toshiba

    I recently installed the version 5.10.06 battery, and now I noticed that the sound on my Toshiba Stereo Headset falls on all the minutes for just a second. It's even when I'm sitting just next to my Bluetooth USB Stick.

    I already tried to reduce the quality of the sound in the options for the connection, but it's always the same with the quality settings low.

    Anyone have the same problem or have a solution for this? It's quite annoying when music falls about 10 times in 30 minutes...

    Thanks in advance!

    You use any additional Bluetooth device while the announcement of music through the stereo headset BT and if so who? What host Bluetooth device do you use?

  • STP and PowerConnect 5548 battery

    HELO,

    I have 2 switches in the stack with HDMI mode. I use these two switches in the access layer.

    To connect to the distribution layer, connect to a switch to a distribution layer and unit 2 to another different switch of the distribution layer.

    Configure ports in the trunk, but I can not activate PLEASE.
    Everything is configured with the same VLAN and the connection works. But the two ports (unit 1 and unit 2) are forwarding.

    I have no other battery that switches PowerConnect and working properly.

    The HDMI connection is in the tree covering weight? or is it just for internal use, the two switches?

    Thank you

    concerning

    The HDMI ports for stacking are not involved PLEASE. When the switches are stacked, they are managed as a single unit.

    I wanted to clarify, when you say that you cannot enable STP, does that mean you don't want STP is enabled? Or, when you try to activate PLEASE, it gives an error / will not?

    You mentioned that ports 1 and 2 remain in a State of shipping, it's the desired status? What status you are waiting for and why?

    Thank you.

  • N2000 and N3000 stacking cables

    Hello

    I have a small question.

    0, 5 m, stacking of cables (N2000 and N3000 series) enough to connect the switches that are 2 RU independently of each other?

    The plan is to have two panels of brewing between switches (24 p, 48p 2x24p, 48p, switch panel, switch panel,... and so on) and I'm not sure if 0, 5 m battery cables will be sufficient or do I go with cables of 1 m... on the pictures it looks like connectors are long enough and I'm not sure if 0.5 refers to the length of cable length of connectors witch included or not.

    Kind regards

    Jakub

    Jakub

    If the switches you are trying to stack are only 2RU apart, then all the support cables should work, including 0.5 m.  With the help of a cable management system, stacking more cables such as 3 m can allow routing around the patch panel ports.

  • 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:

  • PowerConnect 6224 VLAN config / default gateway

    Hello

    I am new to configuring a VLAN and work with DELL going on so please forgive my ignorance.

    I joined a small agency that currently has a flat structure networking including 1 6224 linked to two 5548 one is connected to three 3548 (access), and the other is connected to a server. The 6224 connects to a proxy (default gateway), and then on the Web. All devices are currently on a 192.168.78.0 24 network with ip default gateway 192.168.80.1

    We want to segment the network using two VLAN initially. VLAN 1 user "80" and vlan 1 safety '70' and I want to clarify a few things before that I try:

    1. can you stay the ip on the network switch for vlan user ex: 192.168.80.123 or should I create a vlan separate management?

    2. I know in order for the inter - vlan, the ip of the gateway routing vlan must be on the 6224 and I then have to configure a default route to the proxy. The proxy must be on one VLAN separate or could I leave on VLAN 80 and change the ip address another que.1?

    Thanks in advance.

    I did it several times myself.  You can do almost an infinite number of ways, but it will be better to stick to certain typical networking practices.  Here is the version digest readers of what would be preferable to do so.

    1 enable routing on the switch stack.

    2. make a 80 VLAN for your network 24.80.  Assign the IP 192.168.80.1 to this VLAN.  In this way, customers will now be a ".". 1' default to the network gateway, they are on.

    3 make an another VLAN 70 for your network 24.70.  Assign the IP 192.168.70.1 to this VLAN.  This will be the default gateway for the network.  Repeat for however many VLANS / networks you want to.

    4. create a separate VLAN for his own 'bubble' network between the switch and the upstream proxy server.  (Lets call him a dummy VLAN 100 with an IP range x.x.100.x 29.  It can be just a little/29 block or something or 24 if this is confusing. Configuring the ports a few ports 'access' for this VLAN for that no marked traffic pass over this network.  Set x.x.100.1 to your Proxy Server and x.x.100.2 to your switch, then make sure you have directions on both sides about where traffic should go.

    5. save your configuration so that you have to rebuild it after a reboot.  :-)

    It will be best to set your expecations about it.  You want realistic during a weekend/maintenance window.  ARP cache and other issues can make for some downtime.  In addition, there are certainly other ways to do it, but that may be hurtful on the road when you need to increase or scale.  Two years on the road someone wondered why a default gateway is on a few eccentric IP, or there are errors of routing intermentent, etc..

    Powerconnect worldwide, just be clear what is the difference between a port of "access" to the port of 'general', and are a port 'trunk '.  Conditions may be different from the Lim to make, and if one comes to tell the world of Cisco, this may be a little different.

    Finally, don't forget to come up with a good procedure for this during your maintenance window.  Come up with a good plan documented and so well thought out, when run you it, it will be nothing more than a task in office project.

  • 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.

  • Deliver the addition of new set of switches stacked as an extension to the network in another data center building

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone can help me, I am a humble sysadmin with no real network admin training.

    I have the following Setup to work in a rack in our data center.

    2 x Dell Sonicwall NSA2400
    2 x stacked switches Dell Powerconnect N5524

    A Sonicwall is connected to each switch (active-passive)

    Every Dell server has 2 x nics in servile failover mode, one of each network card connected to each switch

    This is done to allow a full redundancy for network, cable, switches and Firewall interface cards. It works well.

    The above mentioned rack is now full and we ordered a new rack that is in a different datacenter of construction on the same site. We decided to buy another set of stacked switches and _extend_ (no battery) these via optical SPF on the rack on the other.

    The idea is that we still have the switch fault tolerance but link to two grids through 10 GB. The new switches are 2 x Dell Powerconnect N2048 and have been implemented stacked with any connected devices.

    I have implemented SPF ports on both switches to be a junction ports and connected the two sets of switches, unfortunately our site went offline, our alert went ballistic and no servers could not talk to each other!

    Quickly, I unplugged the new switches and after a worrisome 10 alerts deleted seconds and the site is back online.

    I don't know why this has happened and reflected on the STP parameters that my googleing seem well. I don't know I'm missing something basic.

    I'll post a framework and a diagram in a follow-up post

    Which is no doubt tree covering the shot weight. It is a good idea to assign lower priority to the main switch. Generally, your root switch will be the one that plugs into the firewall. Definition of priority on the main switch to 4096, it will make the root switch. So as you work your way through different layers of the network, increase the priority. Access layer switches can be left by default.

    I would also check the physical connections for loops. In situations where you have multiple connections switch, make sure that these ports are configured in a SHIFT.

  • HDMI piling on PowerConnect 5548

    We have 8 switches PowerConnect 5548 and are interested in using the stacking of HDMI for 10GbE.

    We currently have all 8 switches under tension and production running on them traffic.  Each switch is currently either back 'a home run' to a Cisco switch, or connected to another switch PowerConnect 5548.

    • Is mature enough stacking HDMI technology for a production environment?
    • It would be important if each switch have been 'home run'd ' to the Cisco switch and each 5548 PowerConnect was connected in a loop HDMI?
    • Stacking HDMI technology would require restart us our switches to implement?  A failure would be necessary?
    • All the special items of note regarding the type of HDMI cable?  (i.e. owner or any which best buy HDMI cable work?)

    Thank you

    Is HDMI sufficiently stable stacking of the PowerConnect 5548 for production?

    • Yes (100%)
    • None (0%)
    • A little, but you better pay attention to the comments I post... (0 %)

    Jon,

    Technology HDMI wroks ideal for stacking the PowerConnect 55xx series. You can use the HDMI ports on the 55xx for stacking well and not for uplink to a Cisco or other device.  Also, you can stack only as 55xx switches with other 55xx and running the same version of the firmware.

    On the 55xx, you don't need to reboot the switches, but just plug the cables to create the stack.  An algorithm is used to determine which members becomes master and members who become slaves.  In my view, that the master is determined by which switch has been powered as long.  Don't forget that if you have the switches on different subnets or VLANs, they are configurations will be now changed all switches will become like a big switch.

    The type of HDMI cable is important, you will need to consult the documentation that came with the switch, or you can download the Guide of the user to http://support.dell.com.  You need cables that provide a flow rate of 10.2 Gbps (maximum allowed by the HDMI specification).  Usually the cheapest cables don't provide this.
