I just bought my first used managed switch, a PowerConnect 5324.
Software Version 2.0.1.4
Boot Version 1.0.2.02
Hardware Version 00.00.02
Being new to managed switched, I am not sure I can say if there is a problem with it or not.
This is what I noticed.
1. I am using about 16 or so of the 24 available ports. I noticed that the LNK/ACT LEDs of ALL connected ports are constantly flickering, compared to when I was using a non-managed switch.
2. The DIAG led is off. According to the manual, it should be on and green in the absence of problems. As I connected to the 5324 using the serial cable and PuTTY, I noticed that the switch booted successfully without any problems. Shouldn't the DIAG LED be on then?
Sorry for the "basic" questions.
