Hi all,
I have a GS4008 in operation, it was purchased in unopened box and came with all accessories.
It is 2.6.1 version.
I have had the following success, if not specified I use LC-LC OM3 cables.
Finisar FTLX8571D3BCL 10 Gbit/s 850 nm SFP+ Transceiver
the Finisar Transciever is very cheap and works with the GNODAL and was tested with the following NIC:
HP NC522SFP 10GbE DP SFP PCIe (despite being HP branded Qlogic, they also work flawlessly with Dell etc servers)
MELLANOX MNPA19-XTR CONNECTX 2
Does NOT work with the Finisar Transciever:
Brocade 1020
using the DAC cable "
Brocade 10G 5M Twinax Active FCoE 5m Cable 58-1000023-01" it works perfectly fine with the Gnodal.
Does anyone have the image for the latest firmware?
Also, to connect and enable the switch use the following procedure, assuming your network uses a 192.168.0.x subnet, if not change accordingly (and ensure .2 isnt used!):
Use a notebook with ip 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0, direct connect it to the top right RJ45 port
download putty
PuTTY Download Page
connect to 192.168.1.1 TELNET with putty
a window should show up
enter user "root" password "admin123"
configure terminal
default ip address 192.168.0.2 subnet-mask 255.255.255.0
interface cpu0
ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
close the now not responding putty, change your ip adress to 192.168.0. something or connect the management port to your network with rj45 and connect the notebook just to that, it should work. reopen putty
login using aforementione credentials
write startup-config
You have now set the new ip and saved that configuration. By default ports are off. Use the following to enable ports (if you use jumbo frames go to step 2):
Login like above
configure terminal
interface range ethernet 0/*
no shutdown
exit
exit
write startup-config
Now all ports are active. If your network has Jumbo Frames, I heavily emphasize to modify aforementioned step:
configure terminal
interface range ethernet 0/*
mtu 9216
no shutdown
exit
exit
write startup-config
This should be a quick get up and running and startup guide with some compatability advice.
Hope it helps!
