2 Dell connect 6224 on VLAN 50, but one of the web management interface is down

$

Dear team,

 

We have 2 Dell connect switch. But strangely, only 1 web management interface is up and the other is down.

LAG have been configured for them. And they are on the same VLAN, but for certain reason, I could not load the web interface for switch 2. But I'm able to go to web interface for switch 1.


What are the bare minimum commands to get a 3-switch PC6825 stack working with inter-switch Link Aggregation?

I'm brand new to PowerConnect switches, although I am familiar with the concepts of VLANs, link aggregation, and spanning-tree.

I'm on a deadline to get some new 6248's installed in our racks and have them operating as a stack. What are the bare minimum commands to get:

  • Three switches in a stack (master/standby/member)
  • 2 ports aggregated between each switch (full redundancy) with NO switching loops

All switches are running firmware v3.3.9.1 (January 2014).

thank-you

Powerconnect 7000 series in-band versus out-of-band management

$

Hi all, I have four Powerconnect 7024's configured as two stacks: one stack is dedicated to iSCSI and the other stack serves my front-end network. I've got the iSCSI stack setup with OOB management with the port connected into my front-end stack but how should I configure management of the front-end stack? I tried to configure in-band management during setup but stupidly didn't test it and now its deployed and I can't manage the stack remotely. How do other people remotely manage their core stack if there's nowhere else to connect the OOB port to? The powerconnect discourages in-band management but I don't see why you wouldn't use it in this situation. Thanks, Christian

vlan routing woes 7024

Hi,

RE: 2 x PowerConnect 7024 switches connected together over 10G fiber

I'm having trouble with routing traffic. 3 VLANs in total. I've got one vlan routing between switches over its own 10G trunk, but I'm unable to get two other vlans talking across the other 10G trunk.

default gateway set. ip routing enabled. ip addresses assigned to each vlan. default route configured. vlan1 is the production network.   Ping connectivity between devices for each vlan on each independent switch is fine, however the switches cannot see each other on either of these two VLANs. Similarly the devices on the same VLAN but on opposing switches cannot communicate. Vlan 1 is the native vlan on the trunk with connectivity woes.

Switches were running 5.1.0.1. Now running 5.1.3.7 firmware. No change in symptoms.

 

is vlan 1 routable ?  

in what circumstances is switchport mode general required rather than switchport mode trunk that I'm used to using.

Many thanks in advance.

5524 SFP+ direct attach cable requirements

I am wondering if the SFP+ direct attach cable requirements for the PowerConnect 5524 are posted somewhere.  I am trying to connect this switch to an Intel X520-DA2 dual 10GBE card that is attached to a Synology RS3412xs.  A 1m cable length should be all that is needed.

DHCP over 62xx switches and 28xx switches

$

I am in the process of implementing a VoIP system and am struggling with the network config. I have a mixed environment of 62xx series switches and 28xx series switches. I have created a VLAN for voice and am using the default VLAN for data. VLAN routing on the l3 switch is working fine. I can ping between subnets with no problems.

IP helper is working, as IP phones will get an address on the data subnet, then reboot and use vlan tag to get IP on the voice subnet from any port on any switch. But if I set the pvid on any port to the voice vlan, Windows machines will still successfully get DHCP on the voice vlan, but IP phones will not, they will only get an address if going through the data subnet first. My voice switches also lose communication entirely, when set statically with a voice subnet address and connected to a port with voice vlan pvid.

Going through the data subnet to get an address is no big deal, but not being able to put my voice switches on the voice subnet is a problem. I will freely admit that I only sort of know what I'm doing. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Remove IP address on VLAN 1

I have a 6224P switch that I need to integrate with some HP switches. My existing setup uses VLAN 1 for the data network and VLAN 10 for the VOIP network. I've tried to remove ip address on VLAN 1 by entering the interface for this VLAN and issuing "no ip address 192.168.2.1 /24", but I just get an error that says the VLAN cannot be removed. Any suggestions?

I have a Red fan LED on Dell PowerConnect 2748 that is out of warranty. I would like to be able to download a repair manual that will explain how to determine which fan is bad, how to order, and replace it.

The user manual is not much help.

Newbie VLAN problem

Hello

I'm a student and configure switches is something new to me. I have recently bought 2 powerconnects 6224 (not new) and updated them with the latest firmware. I would like to configure them to set up an "rack-configuration" at home. To simulate a rack in a datacenter @ home. 

Equipment that i have:
1 uplink to internet
2 powerconnect 6224 (NO STACK - budget)
1 Storage server with Open-E
2 xen-servers

I'm trying to make multiple vlans but i'm not quite sure if that's the correct way.

Vlan 1: management (in future available with VPN from over the internet if possible?)
Vlan 2: iSCSI traffic
Vlan 3: Network Traffic
Vlan 4: Internet traffic to the Xen-Servers

Can someone please help me start for this setup? For me it would be a great lesson to teach much more about networking and vlans.

Thnx in advance

Hi,

I have Dell power connect 6224 switch. Created two Vlans in it VLan 5 and 10.

Ip address given to vlan 5 is 172.16.0.35,  255.255.255.0

ip address given to vlan 10 is 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0

routing enable on both vlan. pinging each other.

Vlan5 is directly connected with another dell power connect 6224 switch with the ip address 172.16.0.34 255.255.255.0 with this switch connected one FTP server with the ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0.

 Vlan 10 connected with my 3 Servers with ip address 192.168.20.10/11/12.

all are pinging each other.

i am implementing the access list on my switch....

now i am tying to put the access list on my switch so that FTP server can access only my single host that is 192.168.20.10. it should not access all the network.

so I put this command but is not working. in don't know where i am wrong..

access-list permit permit ip 192.168.20.10 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.1 0.0.0.0

deny ip any any

and deploying this list on vlan 10.

after this FTP server can only ping 192.168.20.1 and 192.168.20.10.

But problem is my all three server not able ping each other and switch too.

 

Problem connecting unmanged switch to powerconnect 2848

Hi, I have a problem trying to connect an unmanged switch to my powerconnect 2848.


Everything is working fine, if I connect a desktop in 2848 I get ip from dhcp and can navigate normally, but if I connect an unmanaged switch to the same port of powerconnect and connect two or more pc to this switch they don't get ip from dhcp and even with static ip can't navigate.

My network:

Powerconnect 6248

Powerconnect 2848

Vlan for server, wireless, desktops and printers

powerconnect 2848:

ports 45, 46 - tagged for all vlans, pvid 1

port 32 - untagged, pvid 132 - vlan desktops

powerconnect 6248:

interface range ethernet 1/g45,1/g46

channel-group 1 mode auto

switchport mode general

 no switchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-only

switchport general allowed vlan add 132 tagged

 

interface port-channel 1

switchport mode general

no switchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-only

switchport general allowed vlan add 132 tagged

 

How can I make it work?

OSPF default config on 6224

$

We've got several Dell 6224 Switches installed and working.  2 of the network switches are connected and routing internet traffic.  The routing protocol, OSPF, is in a default state as Admin mode enabled. 

We have a symptom that when we lose one of our ISP links at one of the 2 locations,  the other working ISP link seems to degrade as well.  Would OSPF play any part in that mis-configuraion?  What is the downside of disabling the OSPF admin mode all together?  We statically route all of our nodes/networks.

Hi there!
I've created several VLANs on Dell Switch PC8164, but i want to restrict the management of the device, only to a number of IP or subnets.

For example, i want to allow only subnet: 192.168.1.0/24 and IP 172.16.1.89 to manage device.

Is this possible?
Regards!

We have using two 8164F in stacking config, and want to investigate cause of some rare fail-overs seemingly caused by no visible factors. RAM log doesn't have much info, but there was something about "Crashlogs".

Where are those, and how can i read them?

Dell 6248 - Traffic shapping nightmare.

$

Hello Community,

I am facing nightmares with my dell 6248 switches. I plan to use them as metro switches to offer dedicated internet access to my customers. I am using firmware 3.8.8.2 for all 5 (five) switches i have. Switches are connected by optic cable @ 10Gb trunk ports.

I've did all possible things to have this dells working as my expectations. I see some possibilities to have shapping working.

1. Egress Shapping directly at customer port

This solution solves part of my problem, since it will affect only downstream for customer. Upstream will not be shaped. Also i've noticed if i do traffic shapping command per port, all other vlans are affected.

This is a buggy solution.

2. Service Policy

I was able to configure CoS to work and downstream to customer is controlled at uplink ports, but upstream from customer has poor performance and seems use a half duplex mechanism.

Can somebody let me know, if i can trust on those Dell switches to manage BW that i sell to customers? I am using this switch as a router , setting routed vlans.

Thanks for help me.
