Hi All,
I'm having a nightmare trying to connect my S4048 Switch to my Dell R640 Server which has 2 x Broadcom 10GbE 2P 57412S Adaptors. To connect them together I'm using a Dell DAC-SFP-10G-3M (470-AAVJ) cable.
The problem is that I cannot get any link lights to come one and the status of the port is -:
TenGigabitEthernet 1/17 is up, line protocol is down
How do I get this to come up?
So far we can see the switch is able to detect that the transceivers and reports that their dell and present. Also if I use the cable to loop ports 17 and 18 they come up straight away showing link lights. Also if I connect both network cards together with the cable they show link lights.
So am I right in assuming that the issue is with a slight mis configuration on the S4048?
