What is this switch ?
Craig
Hello. I don't have very much understanding of this stuff, so if you would be able to tell me exactly what I need to do to be able to give you this information, that would be appreciated.
No breakout cable. A QSFP+ DAC. Only 1 port on the switch shows any sign of electrical life.
Means of providing DHCP? Probably my router. Connected to one of the regular RJ45 ports. Doesn't matter. If I use a static IP it's nothing but trouble.
Interpreting TDR results?
(Disclaimer: I"m just missing somethin stupid)
Ok, I have a cable running to a closet, USW-Flex in there to forward PoE to an AP and such.
One cable run downstream of the Flex will only link at 100M, not 1GB. If I jumper around the USW and have the 6450 patched to that run, a TDR test tells me to look at local pair B.
I've looked here:
community.ruckuswireless.com
and here:
docs.commscope.com
and for the life of me I can't decide if that means orange or green, given all my keyholes are wired 568B.
Just trying to figure out where to focus.

But all are $$$$$
1) Did you follow the setup config licensing guide v2 in the first post of this thread?
2) Did you follow the steps to disable stacking - you'll need to do that in order to use the rear 40Gbe and 40Gbe breakout ports (they are different - are you aware of this?)
3) Have you learned how to pull the config from your switch? (you'll need to be able to ssh into the switch or use the console) I believe you've previously been asked to provide the config. The config is super duper helpful (really critical) for remote T/S.
If you haven't done item 1 above then at a minimum you're switch probably isn't where it needs to be for steps 2 and 3. if you purchased the switch from ebay and expected it to work out of the box its VERY UNLIKELY that it will.
One other bit of information, the intel (and oem intel) 10/40Gbe nics can be very picky about DACS and how they self identify. not saying that's an issue here but it is something to be aware of.
there's a world of difference between being ignorant and being an idiot and the first step is figuring out what you know and don't know before you decide to describe yourself as one or the other.
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No. I was asked to do this, and I do not know how. I asked how to do this, and got no reply. I can SSH into the switch. What do I need to do to supply that information?
Regarding Intel being picky about DACs. I did the xl710_unlocker thing (which is supposed to be for optics, right?). Regardless, I think people keep glossing over the fact that only 1 of the 40 gig ports show any sign of life, and the one that does is riddled with nothing but errors. I don't mean to be rude about that last part, but please tell me what I specifically need to do on the switch to provide the required information.

Code:
show runyou will need to cut and paste the output and post it here. my advice is to wrap it in "code" and in a "spoiler" so you don't post a huge reply and force people to scroll through it.
Yes I saw your comments and yeah you may have a bad switch - however I don't want to be rude and ASSUME something so I recommend starting at the beginning and provide the config. You have missed going through items 1 and 2 how to pull the config so I provided the linkage on how to do that.

endwith the QSFP DAC plugged into each of the left side connections please provide the switch's show interface output. It may also be helpful to show status output (from your OS) as well for each port but that is up to you.
recommend using the same cable for each interface test.

What was in the machine before was a 10G SFP+ NIC. It was enp98s0. So I put this thing in (XL710) and it takes the same name. I've since put in a different 10G NIC and it took the name of enp129s0. All is fine and works there. Got its MAC address in my router for a static lease (192.168.1.2 is the IP of the machine I desire). When I mess around with this XL710 on enp98s0 and I go to kill it with ifdown, it says "DHCPRELEASE of 192.168.1.2 on enp98s0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67 (xid=0x7d5d72e3)" This is after assigning it a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces. I really don't get what's going on, and I am about to just wipe the OS install (which I've had maintained for like 14 years now, and would be a HUGE pain in the butt to start over).
...
STOP! Take a deep breath.
I reviewed your previous posts. I'd like to get some clarity first. I'm going to give you some suggestions in a bit so bear with me.
Your interface output looks "fine" even the small number of giants (hoping they're just 1522 and not something else - which could be coming form something else on your network). I'm going with the test on the 1/2/6 was simply brief as the uptime on it is short. - please confirm
based on the show int I'd say both 40gbe ports are fine.
for each interface test did you have good link / status "blinky lights" on your NIC?
You previously reported you had no electrical activity on the bottom port - is that still the case?
STOP again! Please don't wipe your 14 year maintained system. If it has been maintained that long I'd either consider it "prod" or of significant sentimental value. Put it back on your network the way it was and leave it alone until you've finished testing the switch.
You are experimenting and troubleshooting - use something else for this process.
Beg, borrow, steal another system. Throw an OS on it (clean install) and let's troubleshoot the rest of the ports on your switch. yeah?
seriously. Don't EFF around with the system you've been using. Use something else to finish testing out the switch.
Next, I saw a comment that made me think you want to rely on DHCP for testing. Bad idea right now.
80% of most network issues are physical layer.
If you rely on DHCP you may question whether DHCP is behaving or you have something else going on. Remove DHCP from the equation. Use static IP's for the remainder of the testing and on a CLEAN system.
that way you can focus on do I have a bad port, do i have a bad cable.
simplify your troubleshooting by simplifying the number of variables in any given test.
Hi all,
Hoping you might be able to offer some guidance on moving from L2 to L3 code (I'm doing this really just as a learning exercise, actually do my routing in a VM).
I have a batch of VLANs, with a separate management VLAN (VLAN 10). That VLAN had the management IP on it for inband access, and I also have a separate physical switch for the mgmt network, cabled to the OOB management port on the back.
I've just moved to running the routing l3 image code and figured I'd learn about setting up Multi-VRF and also management-vrf.
I setup a vrf (MGMT), and a router-interface ve 10 on VLAN 10. The router-interface ve 10, is forwarding into vrf MGMT. All is well thus far.
I then applied
MY QUESTION
The OOB Management port, does not report itself as belonging to my newly defined management vrf (MGMT). I thought that was part of what the 'management-vrf MGMT' command was meant to do, i.e. forward the OOB physical management ethernet interface in to whatever VRF you had defined as the
Basically everything below points to my inband ve 10 interface being in the managment vrf correctly, but not the OOB interface. How do I get the OOB to forward into the defined managment-vrf?
