I am trying to set up two VLANS on the PowerConnect 2816 (in test mode) and eventually on the 2824. Although I have read the manual carefully, I'm having a bit of a disconnect between how I associate a particular port with a certain VLAN and an elevated Quality of Service. 

We have a small (10 user) network, and I would like to set some switch ports to give priority for VOIP traffic.

I have the 2816 in managed mode, and have set up VLAN 2 with the intent of it being the VOIP VLAN.

I would appreciate any suggestions.  I would like to keep this as simple as possible and not use separate subnets for the different VLANS unless necessary.

Thanks very much.

I need an old version of FTOS.

8.3.2.0

Is still there anyplace online to download the .bin file??

Hi all !

I'm planning updating my management network.

The following hardware is listed below:

- M1000E chassis CMC MNGT

- 2x M620 blades.IDRAC 

- 4x 10Gbe KR PTM module 

- PS-M4110 with 2 controllers :

My plan is the following :

- Change the 2 PS-M4110 controllers management IP settings

- Change the 2x M620 blades.IDRAC management IP settings

- Change the CMC M1000e management settings

As i understand, the CMC GB1 is used by all the of the devices into the M1000e for management traffic, that's why i'm planning to do it at last.

do you think that should do the trick ?

Many thanks at all for your help,

Hi,

I was hoping to get VLAN 3 "Phone-VLAN"  to be able to have internet access, I have a PhoneSystem on 10.10.3.1 which can ping the IP address of each VLAN and also the DHCP server 10.0.1.14 but not the router on 10.0.0.254. I have enabled ip routing but do I need to enable this on the VLANs too? If so the standard commands I am using aren't working. 

The ports that are enabled for VLAN 3 have all been set to access, but I would have thought that using the VLANs IP address as the default gateway and the switch being Layer3 would allow me to do this. If you can shed any light on this then please let me know.

Below is part of the config file.

Regards,

Matt

Hello!

I am struggling to get a working link aggregation here. Any help is appreciated.

The environment have two servers connected to the switch (Dell s3048-on)
ServerA - 10Gbps link (TenGigabitEthernet 1/49)
ServerB - 4 x 1Gbps link (GigabitEthernet 1/1-1/4)


The purpose is to have ServerB communicating with ServerA (and vice-versa) with a 4Gbps bandwidth. Case one interface goes down, the bandwidth is reduced accordingly).

I've setup serverB with bonding (balance-rr) to maximize bandwidth and I am able to achieve the following:

ServerA  ===> ServerB
.................1Gbps...............

ServerB  ===> ServerA
.................4Gbps...............

Here are the tests:

ServerB:~$ iperf -c ServerA
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to ServerA, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 1.06 MByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  3] local ServerB port 47267 connected with ServerA port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  4.25 GBytes  3.65 Gbits/sec


ServerB:~]# iperf -c ServerA -d
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
---------------
Client connecting to ServerA, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 1.06 MByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  5] local ServerB port 47268 connected with ServerA port 5001
[  4] local ServerB port 5001 connected with ServerA port 48860
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  5]  0.0-10.0 sec  4.24 GBytes  3.64 Gbits/sec
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.10 GBytes   940 Mbits/sec



Both servers communicate in vlan 11 and I could get the results above with the following two configurations in the switch:

**Config1** [Communicates, but 4Gbps only one way]
GigabitEthernet ports 1/1-1/4 and port TenGigabitEthernetport 1/49 in the vlan 11.

(conf)#interface range gigabitethernet 1/1-1/4

**Config2** [Also communicates, but 4Gbps only one way]
Tryed with partial success to configure Port-channel. Created Port-channel 1 aggregating GigabitEthernet ports 1/1-1/4 and placed the Port-channel 1 in the vlan 11.

(conf-if-vl-11)#show config
!
interface Vlan 11
 no ip address
 untagged TenGigabitEthernet 1/49
 untagged Port-channel 1
 no shutdown


With both configuration I had no success in achieving 4Gbps speed in both direction.
I've read a bunch of pages of both the s3048-on Command Line Reference and the Service Manual, but could not get any further.....

Would it be possible to achieve the 4Gbps communication in both directions (both starting from the 10Gbps and from the 4x1Gbps servers)?

hi

hoping you can share thoughts, hoping to find some advices on:

how do you link up a stack (simplest, two switches) to the rest of the infrastructure which is already managed by some switches. It's that other end you know very little about which actually manages that local intranet.

So you have your stack and vlans and one of your vlans you want to be that "gateway"(for what's in your stack) to that Intranet.

I'm specifically thinking - would you make it a LAG knowing that it's other end links to some switches?

If yes then should it use lacp, would the hashing mode matter?

I'm thinking of lag for I understand this would offer me redundancy, fail-over?

many thanks,

L

Please help, advice required on firmware update

I've been updating our powerconnect switches to the latest firmware, however one switch is proving to be problematic.

We have a 6224 currently on f/w 2.2.0.3, which I am trying to update. I have followed the instructions in the PDF to update to 3.3.15.1 (I have also tried 3.3.2.3), however it constantly reboots.

I copy over the image (copy tftp) powercycle and update the bootcode with no issues. However when the new image loads and the cli prompt appears it just reboots. I have factory reset to clear the config files but the same issue occurs (it also reboots during the wizard). For info, I have also performed the same update procedure using the same image on our 6224F with no issues.

As I don't have an alternative switch to put in place at the moment, and this is one of our main switches, it is difficult to tackle during office hours. Luckily for now I can reload the switch to the original 2.2.0.3 image until I find a solution, and it works with no issues.

Please advise if anyone has also had similar issues or has any suggestions on a way forward.

I am reluctant to perform a format, as I am unsure that in doing so I would lose the working 2.2.0.3 image. Can anyone advise if the images, if any, would be cleared?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I have a PowerConnect 2824 switch and try to configure a vlan-scenario but it is not working. I read a lot and it seems I've done everything right but it's still not working.

Basically I want to separate my network. Some ports (i. e. port 1-4) should not be able to connect to all other ports except for the router port (port 24).

I set up VLAN 2. Set PVID for port 1-4 to 2 and in VLAN Membership I set those ports to U and the router port 24 to T.

According to all posts I found this should do what I want but those ports can still not ping the router.

The router is not VLAN-aware and is sending untagged packets. Is this a problem? From my understanding the port is Tagged with VLAN ID 2 for packets to port 1-4 and with VLAN ID 1 (cause of PVID 1 defined) for all ports von VLAN 1.

Or is this the problem and a device which does not tag the packets cannot be part of two VLANs?

A lot of posts say that I have to set port-mode of port 24 to trunk port. Since the 2824 doesn't have a CLI that provides the possibility for settings port-modes I have no chance to set this. When I execute "show tech-support config" I get the following information:

Classification rules:
Port : g1
Port Mode: General

Ingress UnTagged VLAN ( NATIVE ): 2

Hi,

I have a problem regarding Dell X1052 that the DHCP relay is not working. Currently my DHCP server is Microsoft Server 2008 with the up of 192.168.0.20 and my switch is 10.0.247.101, i have tested from switch able to ping the DHCP server. However, the DHCP relay unable to poll and access IP to end devices. Is that any missing configuration. All the configuration was done thru GUI

Hello,

I have Dell Networking N3048,  switch:

with one access port

i

interface Gi1/0/6

on other side are Cisco 2960, also with access port.

*Mar 22 07:10:06: %SPANTREE-7-BLOCK_PORT_TYPE: Blocking FastEthernet3 on VLAN2. Inconsistent port type.PVST+: restarted the forward delay timer for FastEthernet3

what is the problem ? how i fix ?

Cisco blocks this port, because received tagged packets:

I have a three N2048 stack. We purchased two Open Mesh A60 Access Points to replace some older HP APs. These Access points are PoE so we have injectors purchased through Open Mesh inline (after the switch inline to the AP). My issue is that when I plug in the Access Point(s) the Dell N2048 port goes active like it should, then after appx 20 seconds, the port goes off. I believe the N2048 is turning off the port for some reason but the RAM log only shows that it goes active then inactive.

Open Mesh support says that the AP's require Gratuitous ARP, but I don't see a setting for that anywhere in my N2048 and they don't offer any more support than that. I've tried messing with various changes in regards to RST, port-fast, enabling/disabling on the two ports where they were plugged in and it makes no difference.

I CAN plug the two APs into a dumb switch and then plug that into the N2048 and it works fine, so I figure it has to be something on the switch turning off the port. How can I figure this out?

Thank you,

Adam

1) Added VLANS 10, 20 on the switch.

2) Added IP: 10.0.10.1/24 on vlan interface 10

3) Added IP: 10.0.20.1/24 on vlan interface 20

4) Configured access vlan 10 on interface Te1/1/1

5)  Configured access vlan 20 on interface Te1/1/2

6) Te1/1/1 is connected to windows machine interface ( IP: 10.0.10.10/24 gateway: 10.0.10.1, VLAN 10)

7) Te1/1/2 is connected to another windows machine interface ( IP: 10.0.20.20/24 gateway: 10.0.20.1, VLAN 20)

Now: ping from windows to windows fails:

Hi,
We just bought two N3000 series switches for our server racks, together with two stacking cables.

They are now installed in the racks and stacked.

We are replacing two old HP switches. In one of the old HP ProCurve switches there is an Intel SFP module with a fiber cable going to a HP ProCurve 2500 in the patch panel room.

Can I take the Intel SFP module from the old HP switch and plug in into one of the N3000 switches?

If not, where can I find a list of supported SFP modules for the N3000 series?

Hi

Can SNMP be configured to use the OOB port?

I know on the 6000 series it was possible

I don't see that option on these switches

in M1000e chassis, two Force10 MXL switches ruining in A1 and A2 slots. each of them have FC Flex I/O Module. Dell PE M620 blades installed and one  EqualLogic PS4110 installed in slot 15. currently everything is ruining fine using iSCSI with no DCB. FC feature is not enabled yet and nothing connected to FC ports.

In case of enabling FC feature on MXL switches to connect them to EMC VNX FC SAN, what is the recommenced configuration for DCB pfc and ets? Could FCoE and iSCSI coexist on the MXL (iSCSI target is the equallogic and FCoE target is EMC through FC modules)?

are the below priories' config is suitable:

MXL# dcb-map SAN_DCB_MAP 
MXL# priority-group 0 bandwidth 60 pfc off 
MXL# priority-group 1 bandwidth 20 pfc on 
MXL# priority-group 2 bandwidth 20 pfc on 
MXL# priority-pgid 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 
MXL# exit

would class 4 be identified automatically for iSCSI and class 3 for FCoE? what is the correct percentage for bandwidth?

First off, new to Dell switching and the CLI.

Core Switch setup and have VLANs running fine

VLAN 2 - switch management 10.6.25.x

VLAN 3 - VOIP (not in use yet but DHCP setup on server) 10.6.30.x

VLAN 4 - Client PCs 10.6.50.x

IP'd the Dell to an address on VLAN2 and without VLAN configured the laptops get IPs in that range.

Trunk Port 1 (right?)

Phone system IP 10.6.30.2 , Port 2 - untagged VLAN3 (right?)

Port 11 has VOIP phone connected then laptop connected to phone.  

How do I configure this port for both VLAN 3 & 4?  GUI method preferred.

Hi,

I got Dell S4048-ON switch. I am student. For my research project, I need to have 10Gbps network switch. After receiving it looks like we need to install OS. I am trying to find way to install "Dell network OS" .

I am referring ftp://ftp.force10networks.com/releases/FTOS_Release/E9.10.0.1P13/ReleaseNotes/S4048-ON-9.10.0.1P13-RN.PDF document.

But it says I need to have "ONIE-FTOS-SK-9.10.0.1.bin". From where can I get this image?

Please help me.
