• 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.

• 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?

• Reference Dell PowerConnect 6248 several sessions of surveillance?

  Hi all

  I have a Dell PowerConnect and I need to set up two mirrors of port.  It seems that I just need to add a port mirroring session, but I can't figure out how to do this.  I read the documentation and may set up a mirror of port without a problem.  Is there a way to do this?

  the switch supports only 1 session tracking. within this control session, you can have multiple source ports, but destination port only 1.

• 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.

• LACP group does not work with stacked 2 DELL PC 6248 and ESXi 2 5.5

  I would like to use LACP/LAG in vSphere 5.5. So I created a new vDS and a group LAG. 2 NICs per host should be used for this. We use 2 hosts, so the total 4 ports are involved. Basically, you can refer to a diagram at vmwares KB article 2051826 (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2051826)

  It's only 2 lacp group links are active, then the other 2 are inactive. Active is the only one of the esx hosts, it depends on which ports are going to be active first.

  Any advice? Someone at - it a config like this works?

  Best regards

  Thanks to the good support at DELL.

  The secret is that you must create a separate group on the switch for each esx host. On the side of esx, you have the config with group a lacp/gal. But on the side of the switch, you need 2 groups for two guests. VMware should have this more clear I think.

• 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

• 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.

• How to change the time that stacks convergence on Dell PowerConnect 8164

  I have create a pile between two switches Dell PowerConnect 8164.
  But I want to know if I could change the time it takes for converges converges moment between them, I want to say... I have remove all the stacking cables (so no connection between no switches) and connect them then... something between 3-5 minutes for the complete convergence.
  Is there a customization here?
  Kind regards!

  There is no option of customization on the re-convergence of a battery.  It is basically kicking a restart of the operating system on the box.

• Difference between Dell Powerconnect N4032F and 8132F

  Hello!

  In the last days, the Dell PowerConnect 8100 disappeared from the Dell Web site and now, the M4000 series with the same characteristics are presented.

  It's just a change of name or these devices differ in some way? The M4000 firmwares is usable on 8100 switches in the future?

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Stril

  Dell PowerConnect N4000 switches series both Dell Networking PC8100 series share the same version of the firmware of the image (for example, N4000v6.1.0.1.stk). The Dell Networking N4000 series switches can be stacked with switches Dell Networking PC8100 of the series with any battery necessary for the performance of 6.0.0.8 or later firmware (6.1.0.1). Dell Networking PC8100 switches can support the firmware both 5.x and 6.x versions, but Dell Networking N4000 can support only the 6.0.0.8 and later versions of firmware (6.1.0.1)

  I hope this helps.

• 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 - 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.

• 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.
