I'm trying to configure the ports on a Dell PowerConnect 6024 to act like a simple layer 2 switch. I've never used Dell switches before so I may just be missing something simple.
I've created VLAN 100, set all ethernet ports to be access ports, assigned them to the new VLAN 100, and set the ethernet ports to be 802.1x force authorized. I also tried disabling spanning tree to see if that was causing the problem.
I've connected two devices on g/1 and g/2, one with IP address 100.64.2.1 and the other with IP 100.64.2.2. I assigned the switch 100.64.2.3 later for debugging purposes.
I can ping both other devices from the switch (with usually 75% loss!), but I cannot ping from the other devices to another device (not the switch). Pinging the switch from any other device does work (again with near 75% loss).
The other devices are known-good with my Cisco switch, so do I have a bad PowerConnect switch or am I missing something?
Here is my configuration:
