Hi
We are setting up switches to use RADIUS. In order to check if all clients authenticate as we think they will do, it would be nice to issue a command like they have in Cisco switches "authentication open". This allows 802.1x to do it's work, but let the client through anyway. In that way you can see if the 802.1x failed or succeeded, without bothering end users.
Is there a similar function in Dell Powerconnect ?

I'm currently working on a project where I need to separate Guests to our network from our internal network. Right now I have 2 Cisco aironet 1142 APs connected to a dell 3548p switch. My win server 2003 is taking care of my dhcp handout. My problem is right now my internal vlan 1 is fine and dandy being able to see everything on that vlan with internet access but my guest vlan 30 is not able to have internet access do to the dhcp not handing anything out. On the switch I have ports 1 and 2 set up with both vlans connected to the cisco APs broadcasting both the internal and guest ssids. Both ports are set as trunks with port 48 set as a trunk as well. Vlan 1 is untagged and vlan 30 is tagged along with port 48 being tagged. My main question is what am I missing to get the dhcp server to hand out IPs to Vlan30? Did I mess up the port settings, am I missing something else. I'm fairly new to the vlan game. Any help is appreciated.
I've obtained a pair of Dell Force10 S25 switches and I'm trying to log into the switches to test / reset them. I have no luck accessing the CLI on either of the switches.
I'm using HyperTerminal, 9600/8/n/1 and I simply get no readout on my screen.
The "stack ID" shows A0 on the unit I'm currently trying and A1 on the other.
I believe these 2 units were stacked together before they were decommissioned. They're not stacked currently while I'm trying to connect to them.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
We have a Dell Powervault NX with 2 Broadcom NICs (4 ports) as our primary file server connected to our LAN through a PowerConnect 2724. I wanted to increase throughput to it so I began looking into teaming the NICs with Broadcom's Advanced Control Suite.
I have created an 802.3ad LAG using LACP team in the software wizard with all 4 ports. I manually assigned the LAN info on the new team NIC and the file server is up and accessible...but not without issues. I am getting some intermittent delays when accessing the shares on that server (or hiccups during RDP sessions to it).
When you select that team type, you get a warning to make sure the switch is configured correctly. Not being a "network guy" I assumed that meant creating a corresponding LAG in the switch for the 4 ports the server is connected to. When I did that, communication with the static IP for the server stopped. When I remove the ports from the LAG, I am again able to communicate with the server.
So, question #1 - is there anything special I need to do in the 2724 to support the NIC Team on that server like create a LAG with some specific setup or change how the ports are configured individually? Right now, those 4 ports are set to:
Question #2 - in the Broadcom software/team view, i see the 4 adapters listed in the team. One of them has a different ICON (the team icon) and the other three are different. Not sure if this matters or not, but related to that, when I look at the TX/RX stats, the NIC with the "team" icon is over 300million frames TX and the other NICS are under 1000 frames. To me, that seems indicative of something being unbalanced.
Question #3 - is the team type I used my best option (assuming I can get it working correctly) for throughput or would I be better suited using either the Smart LoadBalancing or Generic Trunking team types?
Question #4 - I have all 4 ports plugged into the one switch (I'm not looking for redundancy as much as throughout, so I read this was the better option). I have a second 2724 and a 2848 available as well. Should I stick with all 4 into one switch or vary this? Again, throughput being the primary goal here.
Question #5 - i have a PowerConnect 2848 I can use instead if for some reason that switch is better suited to handle this.
Thanks for any help on this! Much appreciated
Hello together,
We want use MTU of 9000 an the PowerConnect 8xxx Series ( N4032 )
We did enabled the command in the console:
“system jumbo mtu 9216”
How can we set the MTU of a LAG member?
vMotion doens not work in our case!

Hello,
I have configured two SFlow collector at 8132F
However, there only first one (Receiver Index 1) can receiving SFlow, the another cannot. How to config both (all) collector can collect SFlow at the same time?
My sflow config is like below
-----
sflow 1 destination owner 1 notimeout
sflow 1 destination 192.168.1.106
sflow 2 destination owner 2 notimeout
sflow 2 destination 192.168.1.107 6344

Hi,
i have configured dell powerconnect 6248p with data and voice vlan in the same port and i am connecting Cisco ip-phone on that port, my phone is working but when i am connecting my PC to the phone port, my PC is getting the voice vlan ip.
Can any body tell me, is it compatible if i want to use the same port for data and voice in dell powerconnect 6248p with cisco ip-phones???
Is it possible to configure PowerConnect switches, so that they authenticate devices on a critical VLAN, if there is no connection to the RADIUS server ?
By critical VLAN, I mean corporate access VLAN, and not a guest VLAN. I know #dot1x unauth-vlan 20 or something similar can be used, but I intend to use that for guest access when the RADIUS is working. Basically, I want unauthenticated devices to be placed in different VLANs, depending if the RADIUS is up or down.
Dear Dell Support,
Please let me know how to get Serial number of QSFP 40G that i did plug them into switch and make them as stack-port.
Best regards,
T.
Long story short, new equallogic san in 3 locations, all identical. Worked fine in first install, duplicate failures in second and third.
Our new HP switches are unsupported, so I need to provide evidence one way or the other as to their role in the failures.
Our vendor loaned us a s4810 to test against - GREAT!
I can't get it working. I ran the basic setup as advised, but I am stuck at the vlans. All ports are active, all vlans created and active, and everything looks right. Could someone give me the commands I need to set up and populate the switch port vlans as follows:
VLANS 1,10,14,15
Port 1-4: Vlan 14 exclusively
Port 5-8: Vlan 1,10,14,15
Ports 9-46: Vlan 1
Port 47: Uplink
We are down and I could really use help in setting this up so I can move forward.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've a question regarding Dell N2024 switches and 0GF76J transceivers. I bought 2 of this switch model and 4 of this transceiver model from a supplier. The optical fiber ports of this switch are normally SFP+ (10 Gbps). I let the supplier chose the transceivers and he sold me 4 of the 0GF76J model.
When I connected the 2 switches via the 4 SFP ports with a CORNING OPTICAL CABLE 6B MM 50/125 OFNR-PVC 2014 00143M, I noticed the following things:
Being in console mode, the following messages appeared:
TRAPMGR[trapTask]: traputil.c(735) 255 %% UNSUP_OPTICS: Non-qualified optics in Te1/0/1
TRAPMGR[trapTask]: traputil.c(735) 256 %% UNSUP_OPTICS: Non-qualified optics in Te1/0/2
The color of the Link/SPD Led was solid amber which, according to the user manual, means that the port is operating at 1000 Mbps
I found it strange so I googled 0GF76J. Few information came up but I think that this model of transceiver is a SFP 1 Gbps. That’s the reason I post in this forum, I want to ask these questions:
Is the Dell 0GF76J transceiver a SFP 1 Gbps?
If yes, I suppose that’s why I got the TRAPMGR messages and the amber light?
I have inherited a Dell 5548 that I am not able to access the web interface on. Through CLI, I have discovered two VLANs are configured. 4094 is set as the default but down with line protocol down as well. No IP is set on it. VLAN 1 is up and an IP configured. My attempts to set this as default through CLI have failed. I am needing to access the web GUI to reconfigure as I am not familiar with CLI. Can someone guide me with the CLI commands to get VLAN 1 set to default or set 4094 to up so I can assign an IP and gain access? TIA.
Is there a way to see port utilization in "real" time ?
Similar to Cisco's 5 minute thing in CLI.
I can see statistics on the Web Administrator but that tells me nothing.
I don't really care how many milions of octets went through.
HP had a wonderful itilization screen that would give you real time overview of what ports are busy on the switch.
Any recommendations ?
P.S. Why would anybody waste their time putting all kinds of counters and statistics on the switch but what's really needed ?
I'm not a network engineer, but am trying to set one port on my MXL switch to a VLAN which will route traffic out from virtual machines to a local compute network.
It's port Te 0/52 on the back of the MXL and I'm running ESXi on the servers in my m1000e. I actually have two MXLs in the A fabric of the m1000e configured with VLT over the FourtyGig interfaces. That part was set up by the Dell Tech Services folks who did the install.
Here is what the config looked like to start:
dsa1#show vlan
Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs, R - Remote Port Mirroring VLANs, P - Primary, C - Community, I - Isolated
O - Openflow
Q: U - Untagged, T - Tagged
x - Dot1x untagged, X - Dot1x tagged
o - OpenFlow untagged, O - OpenFlow tagged
G - GVRP tagged, M - Vlan-stack, H - VSN tagged
i - Internal untagged, I - Internal tagged, v - VLT untagged, V - VLT tagged
NUM Status Description Q Ports
* 1 Active U Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
U Po41(Te 0/41-44)
U Te 0/1-32
115 Active Mgmt T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
486 Active VMGuest T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
U Te 0/49-50
And I wanted to add VLAN 1000 for compute, so I did the following:
dsa1#conf
dsa1(conf)#interface Te 0/52
dsa1(conf-if-te-0/52)#show config
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/52
no ip address
mtu 12000
portmode hybrid
switchport
flowcontrol rx on tx off
spanning-tree rstp edge-port bpduguard shutdown-on-violation
no shutdown
dsa1(conf)#interface vlan 1000
dsa1(conf-if-vl-1000)#show config
!
interface Vlan 1000
description Compute
name Compute
no ip address
tagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/1-32
untagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/52
no shutdown
VLANs now look like:
dsa1#show vlan
Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs, R - Remote Port Mirroring VLANs, P - Primary, C - Community, I - Isolated
O - Openflow
Q: U - Untagged, T - Tagged
x - Dot1x untagged, X - Dot1x tagged
o - OpenFlow untagged, O - OpenFlow tagged
G - GVRP tagged, M - Vlan-stack, H - VSN tagged
i - Internal untagged, I - Internal tagged, v - VLT untagged, V - VLT tagged
NUM Status Description Q Ports
* 1 Active U Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
U Po41(Te 0/41-44)
U Te 0/1-32
115 Active Mgmt T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
486 Active VMGuest T Po41(Te 0/41-44)
V Po33(Fo 0/33,37)
T Te 0/1-32
U Te 0/49-50
1000 Active Compute T Te 0/1-32
U Te 0/52
But I wanted to add VLT tagged Po33 to the new VLAN because it exists in the others, not because I really understand what it does. I believe it's used for load balancing? If I tag it with the command "tagged Po33" under the vlan config it comes out with status "T" instead of "V"
Here's the details of VLT:
dsa1#show vlt detail
Local LAG Id Peer LAG Id Local Status Peer Status Active VLANs
------------ ----------- ------------ ----------- -------------
41 41 UP UP 1, 115, 486
dsa1#show vlt brief
VLT Domain Brief
------------------
Domain ID: 100
Role: Secondary
Role Priority: 4096
ICL Link Status: Up
HeartBeat Status: Up
VLT Peer Status: Up
Local Unit Id: 0
Version: 6(4)
Local System MAC address: f8:b1:56:09:70:b1
Remote System MAC address: f8:b1:56:09:70:fd
Configured System MAC address: 00:01:00:01:00:01

Delay-Restore timer: 90 seconds
Delay-Restore Abort Threshold: 60 seconds
Peer-Routing : Disabled
Peer-Routing-Timeout timer: 0 seconds
Multicast peer-routing timeout: 150 seconds
So my questions are, am I on the right track? Will this do what I want it to do which is send traffic out port Te 0/52 which is tagged in ESXi with VLAN 1000? Do I need to worry about the VLT tagging stuff and if so, how do I do the VLT Tagging rather than normal tagging?
I am getting a tons of this on our Core switch N3000, anyone? What does this mean?
Hello,
I usually work with Cisco switches where I can type "term len 0" before executing "show run" to get a full output of the running config without any pause/breaks. Unfortunately, this command doesn't work on the Dell PowerConnect 6248 i'm working with. When I show the running config I get a --more-- or quit(q) output ever 10 or so lines. I've been googling my *** off and reading through the Dell CLI User Guide and haven't found anything.
Thank you
Hi,
We have 2 storage networks on the same IP range and no conflicting IP's. As part of a consolidation we are trying to make the 2 equalogic SAN's on each portion available to all esx hosts. Currently our setup is:
Infrastructure - 2 x 8024f with a LAG on the last 4 SFP ports
Trading - 2 x 8132f stacked using the stacking modules (uplink cables)
What we want to do is connect the 2 switch stacks to each other. We have 1 long SFP+ cable and I wanted to know what would happen if I connect this to a port on stack 1 and a port on stack 2? Would that effectively provide a path between the 2 stacks? As everything is on the same VLAN, once we are connected there should be no further configuration requires?
Any help would be appreciated and sorry if this is a silly question.

I want to pass MTU of 1548 for MPLS and VLANs and manual only makes reference to ipv6 set mtu {ethernet interface | port-channel port-channel-number} MTU BYTES.
Thanks in advance.
hi there,
I am looking to use a pair of N3048s in a branch office as both the network core and for iSCSI (connected to a new equallogic).
As I understand it you can't set jumbo frames on a single port basis so it will need to be enabled across all ports.
Will this cause an issue with the LAN network (i.e. not iSCSI storage) as none of the devices are configured to use jumbo frames?
Cheers for any advice,
Huw
Hi all,
I am trying to connect a 7048 stack with a S55 stack (2 switches in each stack). I would like to use two ports (one from each switch) from each stack to connect to the other. Can anyone help me with the configuration of this please? I guess I would go with LACP in this situation?
If the commands to complete this could be provided it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Carl.
