Hi,

I have a problem with an DELL MXL 10/40 switch. Yesterday it just stopped. Today after we removed and put it back i chassis it started working.

Unfortunately is now not booting. It is showing this error below:

"Dell

Does any one has any idea what to do ?

Thanks in advance.

I am replacing an old Dell Switch with a new 3524P.    I have configured the switch but I am unable to obtain an ip address on any device.   The new switch is tied to the core switch via fiber.  I have a compatible GBIC in switch.... I can get an address when connecting the new switch to the old switch via ethernet.....  What am I missing?

Below is the configuration of the two switches.  I have BGP established and up, passing prefixes.  I want Switch 1 to send a default gateway to Switch 2 and have the default-originate command setup on the neighbor statement.  I do not see the 0.0.0.0 default route in the show ip bgp sum command, but that is detailed in the configuration guide.  However, I do not see a default 0.0.0.0 route in the route table for switch 2 at all and receive an error that there is no default route available.  What would I be missing here?

Config is below:

’m going through the user guide, and I see the following (image below) It says it “filters” BPDU packets if spanning tree is disabled on an interface. So, if I disable STP on a particular interface, does this mean that those packets will not be forwarded on?

I need BPDU transmission blocked on a particular port. Cisco allows you to do this by running spanning-tree #bpdufilter enable on an interface – this stops that port from receiving or sending BPDUS. I need to do that with this Dell switch.

I have an issue with an N2048 stack reporting jumbo packets in the SNMP InErrors table:

#show statistics tengigabitethernet 1/0/1

Packets Received > 1518 Octets................. 9479

Received packets dropped > MTU: ............... 9479

$ snmpget <switch> .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.49
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.49 = Counter32: 9479

#show system mtu

System jumbo MTU size is 9216 bytes

I'm not seeing any performance related issues and I don't think the packets are actually being dropped. I've tested with jumbo sized pings and the response comes back. The error counter is still incremented, however. On the other side of the interface is an Arista 7050S with an MTU of 9214.

Hi All,

Any idea where i can find the above. Trying to configure custom pollers for solarwinds, to monitor CPU and Memory of the switches

Hi All,

I guess this a very basic network design question. Is it good practice/acceptable to use the Dell 6248 layer-3 switch as the gateway / next-hop router, even though the correct gateway is directly connected to the same subnet/vlan?

The issue is that we are in the process of making changes to our network, and several of the routers on the edge of our network have static routes configured so they can reach our other subnets, both local and remote. These static routes will need to be changed when we move from one circuit to another, but some of the edge routers are vendor managed, and it is inconvenient to get them reprogrammed. Also, the vendors will need to make the route changes more than once, if we want to clean up our ip addressing scheme after the move. Once the changes are made, the network topology likely will not change for a long time, so I would like to stick with static routing. Since we can enter and control the static routes in our Dell 6248, can we just tell the vendors use our Dell switch as the next-hop router when they change their static routes?

I know ip redirects might attempt to "fix" this inefficient setup, and that could cause problems, at least during the transition phase. On a smaller network with 10 servers, 100 computers and 80 phones, is this extra routing inconsequential for the Dell 6248 layer-3 switch, or is this setup something you should avoid (for other reasons)? Thanks for your insight!

on a stack of 2 x 6224 dell powerconnect's what would be the best way to change the default untagged vlan for all switchports ?

is the default setting for the switch "access mode' or "general mode"

would i do # switchport general mode pvid 10 for example ?

or switchport access vlan 10. 

Hi,

I have rcently joined a company and we want to migrate our network to 10.0.0.0 ip address range from 192.168.0.0.

Also we want to configure few vlan's

But the major challenge I am facing is that there is no documentation available for wiring. How can i track which port of which switch is going to which system.

We are using Dell 5548 and 6248

Please help me.

Hi, I'm very new to the idea of accessing different networks through a trunk line. I am in need of connecting from a few VLANs on an n3048 to a single VLAN on an s25n. I have tried a few things but none have seemed to work how I need them to.

I am not sure if I should be creating the VLAN on both switches or if I just keep it on the s25n. When I created the VLAN on both, and set both ports to be switchport trunks I was able to ping the IPs of both VLAN interfaces but not everything else on that VLAN. 

I also tried to create a port channel trunk and connect via that but I could not get through to anything with that route. 

Since I am new to this, what is the proper way to go about doing this? Port channel?trunk? Some other form of LAG? 

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

I would like to know how to setup the switch so it would be ports 1-12 one switch area and then ports 13-48 would act seperate.

Thanks for the help.

Hi everyone.

I am having a rather odd issue at the moment. We have recently moved from a stack of old CISCO SG series switches to a stack of N3048P.

Everything works fine except for a C1765nfw Color MFD that refuses to print or connect to its switch once it has gone into sleep mode, works fine if I plug it back into a Cisco.

Appears to be a layer 1 issue as the port on the switch won't even light up, unless the printer is awake. the printer works fine until entering sleep mode, once this happens it can no longer be woken with a print job and has to be either power cycled or another button pressed before it will print.

Switchport is in access mode, same as the others and changing from auto negotiation to forcing 100 full duplex, doesn't seem to help either.

Has anyone else had this issue before ?

Hi, Could some one help me try get the web interface to out M6348 reset or re-configured. The switch is live for production so any methods without an outage would be great.

Im ultimately looking to configure iscsi ports for our Dell Blade within the enclosure from this switch and any guides or help would be great. I do have a test blade i can configure as the network for iscci traffic has been presented to the chassis.

Hi there,

No a question really... just a workaround for a firmware issue.

This one gave us some problems on our brand new FX2s chassis with FN410T modules: after a cold boot the server side ports (0/1 to 0/8 on each module) stay offline. Resolution is to reset those ports.

Acc. to a Dell (pre-sales) rep. this is due to a firmware isue, a patch is on the way. Lets hope there are no power faillures.

regards

Peter

______________________________________________________

We have default route pointing to our cisco asa: 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.64.254

Also we have another route pointing to 2nd gateway cisco asa (.64.1) connected to this switch: 192.168.53.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.64.1

For some reasons for vlan 306 (192.168.53.0) only default route applies (when trying to go to the outside e.g. google) despite of having the below routes configured:

192.168.53.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.53.250 - local

192.168.53.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.64.1 - static

Basically, what I am trying to do is to tell layer 3 switch 64.250 to send all vlan 306 outbound traffic to the gateway 64.1 instead of 64.254 (default) but for some reasons even having the routes configured it is still sent to the default one

Thank you for your help

Kind Regards,

S

Hi there


we are trying to connect two of dell powerconnect 6224f over sm fiber.

dell-elfak(160.99.8.2) <----10g fiber------->(160.99.8.1)dell-junis(160.99.1.31)<----copper---> (160.99.1.12)gateway

Configurations are in attachment. for both dell switches.

The problem is that from network 160.99.1.x i can ping and trace route all the devices - all the time- but web and telnet access to 160.99.8.1 and 160.99.8.2 is not working all the time!!!



Would you be so kind to help us debug this situation?
Is it possible at all to do this with the powerconnect switches?!



Kind regards

____________________________________________________________________________

Hi,

I have a Dell N3024 switch and I need it to talk to a Cisco router (provided by 3rd party to act as the gateway to a dedicated leased line) over vLan 192.

The Dell N3024 has an EQL unit attached and it needs to replicate with another site. The leased line is in place to handle this traffic and there is one of these 3rd party Cisco routers at either end. So it goes something like this:

EQL <--> N3024 <--> Cisco at Site A <--> leased line outside <--> Cisco at Site B <--> N3024 <--> EQL
(I hope that makes sense)

Trouble is, the Cisco router cannot see the EQL unit at all. I have spoken to the 3rd party and they say they cannot see anything in the ARP table for that device.

Config (all I have) from the 3rd party on the Cisco router interface in question is:

sho run int gi0/1.192
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 152 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.192
description ***
encapsulation dot1Q 192
ip address 192.168.2.100 255.255.255.0
end

So they have set dot1q encapsulation. I am not sure how to set this on the Dell...with Cisco it seems easy but as far as I can see I have to set the switchport mode to 'general' and then add the vLan to it:

switchport general allowed vlan add 192

..which puts it into dot1q compliance - is that right?

The config off the Dell switch is:

!Current Configuration:
!System Description "Dell Networking N3024, 6.0.1.3, Linux 3.6.5-320b2282"
!System Software Version 6.0.1.3

The 10.149.x.x ranges and vLans are all working OK, and are not all used anyway. I have only included them for the sake of completeness.

The 'ip route' command - ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.250 - would that mess up vLan 192 communications?
Should I have an IP assigned to vLan 192?
The IP of the Cisco router is 192.168.10.100 - should I set that as a gateway somewhere?

I am sure there are other things wrong with that config, but right now I just want to know and understand why it won't talk to the Cisco.

Can anyone help? Please?? This is doing my head in...

Thank you

Hi,

I am new to dell switches, we want to move all servers to a 6248 which would be connected to another 6248 switch.

So we want to use 1000Base fibre ports on 6248 so that the link between the switches can handle the load.

Please let me know if those are SFP ports?

How can I connect two 6248on these port, I mean what cable and hardware do we need for this 10 gig connection
