We have a PowerConnect M8024 switch connected to our M1000e chassis. I connected a separate server to one of the 10GB external ports using a Dell 10GBASE SFP+ Twinax Cable. My switch IP is 172.16.17.2 and my server IP is 172.16.17.3. I can ping the switch (172.16.17.2) from one of the blade servers hosted on the M1000e chassis but I cannot ping the separate server (172.16.17.3). I'm new to this switch, I don't know if the M8024 is configured properly, maybe the external port is not enabled. Need your advise please. Thanks.
