Uing PowerConnect 6224 switch Is it possible to use the 10Gb uplink ports as regular LAN ports.
I have tried connecting a server with 10Gbe Mellanox card to Dell 6224 port 1/ xg1 which has a Finisar 10Gbe SFP+ module in it, but I can't get link connection. I also tried Twinax 10Gbe copper and without any luck.
All the uplink ports 1/xg1, 1/xg3, 1/xg3, 1/xg4 are configured as "Ethernet". And all my cables, transceivers and NIC cards have been tested and are working. All ports on 6224 are unlocked.
When I connect 1/xg1 to 1xg2 on the same switch then I can get a link so looks like those ports are most likely working as well, but I can't get link when connecting any servers to those ports.
