Hi there,
I have inherited some Dell 8024F switches and am looking to upgrade from 3.1.4.5 to 5.1.2.3.
I assume there will be an upgrade path for these, but I am struggling to find it. Anyone?
Should point out I am new to Dell Switches so not overly familiar with them. Someone mentioned you also cant be remote as you need to console in for the second part of upgrades, can anyone help clarify this?
All help greatly appreciated
Hi there,
I currently have a stack of Dell PowerConnect 7048P switches. They are using the CX4 Stacking Cables, and have the expansion modules installed. So I have 4 Stacking cables going out from each switch.
I want to add a blade server into the mix, with M6348 switches. However, each switch has only two CX4 stacking outlets.
How do I go about stacking M6348 with a PowerConnect 7048P stack that are using the expansion modules?
I understand that you can get two M6348s, in Fabrics A1/A2 for redundancy. Would the second M6348 effectively be the expansion slot for the CX4?
Thanks.
We want to connect BGP routers via Powerconnect 8024f switch.
The topology is followed.
Optical Link copper link
BGP router 1 --------------------------- 8024f swtich ------------------------ BGP router 2
8024f don't need to process BGP routing packet.
8024f should deliver(forward) BGP routing packet only.
Is it possible?
I replaced an older POE switch with a new Dell N2024P. The Switch had three Cisco LAP1242G Access Points connected them.
After connecting the access points to the new switch they were all in a Disabled state due to low power. When I ran a show power inline on the switch the three ports showed a draw of 3300 mw.
I had to go change each of the switch ports to power inline high and change the priority to critical and change the remainderof the ports to power inline never.
On the access points I changed the Power Injector Selection to installed.
The N2024P would not supply the necessary power for the access points after the changes. I had to reset the APs 3 times before the switch would provide the 5000mw to run the APs.
Sp I would change the port settings; inline power high and critical. Power injector Selection to installed on the AP and then reset the APs three times and the switch would provide 5000mw.
As stated the switch is a N2024P running firmware 6.1.0.6.
Why would the switch not provide 5 watts out of the box for these access points?
Is it a known issue?
Did I do the correct workaround?
I would like to know why I had so many issues getting this switch to provide the correct power for these access points.
how do i enable my powerconnect switches to show traffic with onmn 5.3. i have the device addedd. i r-click the device - register with traffic analyzer but still nothing.
do i need to enable slfow or somethign like that on the switch?
how do i do that?
using a PC 6248
i keep getting no credentials found for telnet /ssh when i try to backup my config using ONMN 5.3
i have the switch added as a managed resource using snmp. however i tried to configure the telnet credentials but they do not pass. of course i know they are correct credentials. did i miss something?
We have two M6220 switches stacked in an M1000e chassis filled with 14 M520's and one M910 with the embedded 10G BCM57810 NIC as well as an Intel I350 1Gb mezz card. Keep in mind the onboard 10G card is negotiating at 1Gb since the M6220's are all gigabit.
After about 6 months of service we started receiving messages like this a couple of times a week

We performed a reboot last night of both switch units and the alerts appeared to have stopped until this evening when they started generating the alerts again.
We're not seeing any packet loss from any of the blades and the port stats on the switches report no errors or discards.
Our primary concern is if this is something to be concerned about but also we'd like to know how to correct it. Has anyone received this sort of message before and if so, how did you fix it?
Hello DELL Community members.
I hava a little question, and hoping to find some answers here ;) I am writing a little script, and in this script I need to get mac address that is bind to ip-address by ARP command. I am using telnet to connect to DELL. But show arp command shows a lot of information, huge list of ip's. I tried to parse it, with "<MORE>" option and pressing <Return> etc , but it is very slow procedure.
So two main questions:
1. how to get mac-address bind to ip-address by ARP command
2. how to get rid of "<MORE>" option. I mean show cli without <MORE>
Thank's for answers.
P.S.

My Dell N2048 switches are returning the remote lldp system ip address in reverse. Did I screw someting up ? I'm using snmp version 2.

I've configured 2 switches with Link Aggregates between them. The Access ports are part of VLAN 10 but are no longer communicating via the NEWLY created LAG's. Do LAG's pass only a single VLAN or is there something i'm missing within the LAG config?
Hi.
This is a fairly simple question:
The PCI-DSS requirements specifies that you have to audit all administrative commands on all network switches within the PCI scope.
The old PowerConnect does not support this feature, so i wonder then if the N2000 series have logging of all administrative commands to ie. a syslog server ?
I attempted to update the firmware on a PC8024-k 2 switch stack to 5.1.5.1. After the update this is what I get:
unit image1 image2 current-active next-active
---- ----------- ----------- -------------- --------------
1 5.1.2.3 5.1.5.1 image2 image2
2 5.1.5.1 5.1.2.3 image2 image2
According to this table, unit 2 will boot the old image next time it reboots; how can I change it?
Hi,
just logged on to the community as we are new owners of Dell PowerConnect 5548 switches.
I read the manual and searched the forums, but I can not find out, how I can bind DHCP-server I configure on the switch to VLANs.
I want to have 5 VLANs with different networks (192.168.x.x) and want to do DHCP-server with the switch. I can easily configure 5 network-pools, but how will the switch decide from which pool it picks an adresse if an DHCP-request comes in?
Will there be some kind of magic, when I configure an IP-address for the switch in this VLAN? (Otherwise there is no need for this).

We received some M820 blades recently which have BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810S-k Mezz to M8024 (original not -k version) and they are only getting 1G speed. The OS is Dell-installed ESXi 5.1 latest update release. I have upgraded the firmware on the M8024 to 5.1.4.5 which should be the latest firmware. I have upgraded the BCM57810 firmware to the latest. If I force the BCM57810 to 10000 Mbps the link goes down and does not come back up. I have restarted the M8024. I have tried offline-bundle upgrade of bnx2x drivers in ESXi 5.1. I made sure that SR-IOV, NPAR, and DCB are disabled on the BCM75810 then powered off, removed, and re-inserted the blade. No matter what I have done the link speed remains 1G as reported by ESXi and the M8024 in GUI and via telnet CLI. I have even tried booting the blade off Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit and still only got 1G speed.
What do I need to do to get 10G FD speed working with BCM75810 and M8024?
Hello,
I have two 7048P L3 switches that I'd like to stack but I"m unsure on how it works. Both switches have the same firmware.
1. Do they both have to have the same configuration running on both for that to work?
2. Also, I created a Voice VLAN (3) on the first switch with an IP of 10.0.3.254. Would I use the same IP address on the second switch within VLAN 3 as well or assign a different one?
Thanks!
Need some help if someone knows how to to setup this switch. I have a M1000E chassis with this Dell Force 10 MXL installed. The 10GBase-T Module is installed. I setup the tengigabitethernet 0/1 to switchport and 10000mbit. All I want is my blades to communicate across the 10gig interface. The blade servers running server 2008 R2 are connecting auto negotiate at 1gb. I set them to 10gig full and now the interface shows the cable is unplugged. Can someone give me some insight on what I am doing wrong?
Previously our core switch was a 3 Com 4500 series which our access points connected to via power connectors these AP's are from HP and basically they are capable of broadcasting 2 SSIDs one was for LAN (172.22.*.*) and the other was for Internet (192.168.1.*) for guest users, Once you authenticate to any of these SSIDs you'll be connected to the respective network. The configuration on the 3Com was basically setting the AP ports on the 3 Com to Trunk and setting the LAN VLAN to "untagged" and the Internet VLAN to "tagged" on those specific ports used by the APs.
Last week we upgraded to a Dell Power connect 7048P switch to take advantage of the POE capability. While the switch works as intended with users directly connected to the switch, we're having an issue with our access points. While we get the SSIDs we cannot get an ip and connect to either the LAN or INTERNET network wireless, we don't believe it's an issue with the APs since all they do is broadcast the SSID and connect you to either LAN of INTERNET.
So far I've set the ports to general and "tagged" for internet & "untagged" for LAN and the various combos of tagged/untagged with Access & Trunked modes all to no avail. I'm new to Dell switches and more familiar with the automatic tagging in the Cisco IOS, so any assistance would be appreciated. I'll upload the configs soon.
