E4200 + Dell PowerConnect 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch work/notwork?

We have a Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch and with the e4200 having only 4 ports a fifth port is needed if we are not able to resolve the usb/printer fiasco that we have been struggling with for the past three days.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, PLEASE hlep!
Thanks,

We have the e4200 v.1 router with four ports in the back and we have updated the usb to network in a xeror 8400 printer via a usb connection. But after three days of trying, only one computer can find the printer on the e4200 router's usb port.
Plan B: give up trying to connect four computers (filling the four ports in the router) to the e4200 usb printer connection and utilize this Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch which has 16 ports and network in the printer on this dell Ethernet Switch.
BUT, I don't know if this can be done with the e4200 since the CC/Linksys does not appear to be PnP friendly & we don't have the resources to hire in a tech. I can follow instruction, please point me in the right direction. Many thanks if you can assist,

  • WIRED FAST ETHERNET SWITCH BY NETGear

    Here is my issue and it may be answered best on another board, but here goes. I hooked up a Netgear FS605 Fast Ethernet Switch. I ran my cable connection through the switch out to my Airport and then onto my IMAC Desktop. It all flowed fine. I then ran a cable from the switch to our new ps3 in the basement which did not see the connection. Now I figured maybe my cable making skills are lacking so i testes to see if i had a signal using my laptop. I did not. SO I went upstairs directly to the switch took out a good E Cable and connected the laptop there and still no connection. So i am not sure if A the cable i ran for the PS 3 is bad, and B having a **** of a time getting the Etherenet Switch to be reconized on my LAPTOP. any ideas out there? Once i get the LAPTOP to see the switch i can then go and check my cable run.
    Thanks

  • Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

    Hi to everybody,
      It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
    I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
    My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
    Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
    All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
    All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
    What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

    After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

  • Did fast user switching work this way before 10.4.9?

    Funny, I don't remember it working this way...
    If I switch to another user with FUS, the dialog box appears for that user to enter their password, but-
    the underlying desktop can still be fully manipulated.
    Was it always this way?

    yes, I think it did.

  • UC520 SNMP change fast ethernet switch port vlan

    Hi,
    I've a UC520 running with uc500-advipservicesk9-mz.151-4.M5. I try to change VLAN on the switchport using snmp however look like the UC520 doesn't support "vmVlan".
    snmpwalk -v 1 -c private 10.1.1.1 ifDescr
    IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: FastEthernet0/1/1
    snmpset -v 1 -c private 10.1.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.68.1.2.2.1.2.4 integer 151

    Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
    Failed object: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.68.1.2.2.1.2.4
    Does anyone know what is the MIB for change switch port vlan ?
    Rg,
    Gerald.

    What do you mean by dumb siwthc? What model/make/company is that switch?
    Can you try to do the reset of the switch so that it wipe off all the config what so ever present on the box and then try to connect the switch to the router?

  • Cisco 2950 and Dell Powerconnect 5224

    I am trying to Cascade a cisco 2950 and dell powerconnect 5224. I am connecting port 32 on the 2950 and port 24 (gigport) on the dell. Any idea on how I can get the cascading to work? This is what I have on the Dell and the cisco.
    Dell Powerconnect 5224:
    interface ethernet 1/24
    switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
    switchport native vlan 1
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport allowed vlan add 1,10 tagged
    Cisco 2950:
    interface FastEthernet0/32
    switchport access vlan 10
    switchport mode trunk
    Dell documentationon casdcading between powerconnect and catalyst 4000 talks about setting up GVRP on both the dell and cisco switches. However, 2950 doesn't have GVRP.
    http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pwcnt/en/app_note_4.pdf
    Any ideas, tips. Thanks.

    Try this instead:
    Dell:
    interface ethernet 1/24
    switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
    switchport native vlan 1
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport allowed vlan add 10 tagged
    Cisco 2950:
    interface FastEthernet0/32
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk allow vlan 1,10
    switchport nonegotiate
    You don't need "switchport access vlan 10" on the Cisco because it's not in access mode, it's in trunk mode. And on the Dell you don't want vlan 1 to be tagged and untagged.
    Good luck.

  • How many LAG ports on the Dell PowerConnect 8024F?

    My new deployment
    1 x Equallogic PS4110XV with 2 controllers / 4 network ports
    3 x ESXi 5 Hosts
    2 x Dell PowerConnect 8024F 10 Gbps switch
    2 x network ports from the Equallogic PS 4110XV will be connected to each of the PowerConnect 8024F switches
    So how many LAG ports do I need to created on each of the PowerConnect 8024F switches?
    Some says 4 and some says 2?
    Or will it be better if I were to do stacking? I think the 8024F is capable of doing stacking..
    I've attached a diagram of the setup. Thanks.

    Is your question on how to set up link aggregation for the connections to the ESXi hosts or to the SAN?

  • Netflix Viewer and Ethernet Switch

    Hello All,
    I just bought the Roku Netflix Viewer. Friends told me all I needed to share my DSL connection was a simple Ethernet Switch. So I got a Unicom Micro-Switch/5 which is described as a 5 port 10/100Mbps fast ethernet switch w/ auto mdi/mdix.
    I assumed this was the correct device, and that it was plug and play, but when I plug in the viewer, my iMac gets bumped off the internet.
    Is this ethernet switch the right piece of hardware? If so, is mine dead out of the box, or is there a specific way to connect it / configure it (or my iMac) that is beyond me?
    Or is there a more appropriate device I should get to share the connection?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dr. Rock

    For those interested,
    I posted here hoping to get some help during the long July 4th holiday. I was given bad advice on the purchase of an ethernet switch. Turns out I needed a router. Here on the tech pages the distinctions are clear. But out in the world where the humans use English to communicate, the terms hub, switch, and router are often used interchangeably.
    Cheers,

  • Slow Login, Slow "Fast User Switching"

    Hi--I have a Core Duo, Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.2. The initial log-in is very slow (several minutes) for any user--whether it's the initial boot up or switching users using "fast user switching." But all seems to work well once the login completes. After a user, or multiple users, rather, are logged in the first time, fast user switching works normally.
    Also, if two or more users are logged in, and a user logs out, it takes forever for one of the other logged-in users to log back in.
    I've tried turning off fast user switching and rebooting; I've disconnected all USB devices; I've repaired permissions; I've rebuilt the directory structure using Disk Warrior 4.1; I've created new accounts (the problem is identical in all accounts); but theses measures didn't work. I know previous versions had issues with font caches, but I'm not sure how to delete these in Leopard. Anyway--anyone else encounter this problem? Thanks!

    Well, I did an "Erase and Install"--and THAT didn't get rid of my problem... Well, I SHOULD say it did--for the first boot-up into the new system worked flawlessly, but I courageously and foolhardily chose to "Transfer" my files and settings from my backup disk. Voila, the the problem of the "blue screen of death" (not really death, just long delay) was restored, along with all my data. So I did another "Erase and Install," and this time only manually restored my user accounts--and I'm happy to report: ALL IS WELL....
    I'm thinking that the troublesome application that was conflicting with Leopard was the "Boot Picker" pane that I had trouble disabling or deleting from the previous installation of Tiger. I do have a Windows partition, but apparently Boot Picker should not be used with Leopard. I did go through the "Boot Camp" installation process in my first upgrade to Leopard, but that process didn't remove the earlier installation of Boot Picker.
    This is still just a guess, and I'm hoping, as I continue to reinstall miscellaneous application on my newly re-installed system, that the problem doesn't come back (or if it does, it comes back at a clearly-identifiable moment).

  • Monitor Dell Powerconnect Switches/Routers using SCOM 2012

    Hello,
    We are trying to find a way to monitor approximately 20-25 Dell Powerconnect switches/routers (models 5324,5424,5448,5548,6224,6024) through SCOM 2012.
    Using SCOM network discovery we are able to get all Dell Powerconnect switches listed, but we are unable to get a network node dashboard, nor vicinity view 1 or 2 hops further. We are able to only see connected network printers and some serial/ethernet devices
    we have.
    In addition, SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches. We have found that on the SCOM management server the "C:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server\NetworkMonitoring\conf\discovery\oid2type_Dell.conf"
    only lists Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches as well as several models from the 3000 series.
    We have contacted Dell PRO support, but their reply was that there is no management pack for SCOM available for their networking devices.
    Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012 to monitor those switches and get a network digram view or are there any plans to include those MIBs in a future CU or SP of SCOM 2012? 

    Hi Alex
    Network monitoring has changed from SCOM 2007 R2 to SCOM 2012 so this statement
    "but if this works for SCOM 2007, it should apply to SCOM 2012"
    is not accurate when it comes to network monitoring:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/10/24/migrating-operations-manager-2007-network-monitoring.aspx
    Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012? 
    The codeplex solutions for SCOM 2007 R2 will not work on a new \ clean install of SCOM 2012 (if you upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 they continue to work as legacy devices but you can't add more monitoring).
    SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches
    What do you mean by recoginse? SCOM can discover network devices but there is an "approved" list that allows for extended monitoring:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26831
    You should still be able to discover and monitor other devices though:

  • Home Sharing stops working with fast user switching

    I have a late 2013 iMac running Mavericks.  The main account has my iTunes library with Home Sharing enabled.  The AppleTVs and IOS devices can see the Home Share and it works well.   But, it stops working when user accounts are accessed on the Mac.
    For instance, as soon as I select "Login Window..." from the fast user switching menu, the share is lost.  I did not log out, iTunes is still running.  I simply showed the login window.  All IOS and ATVs loose the share.  Switching to another user also stops the share.  It's as if iTunes is completed halted and not allowed to run in the background.
    When moving from the login screen back to the user account where the iTunes library is located, the home share is restored.  Likewise, moving from a 2nd user account back to the main account where iTunes is runnning restores the home share.
    I have a MacPro running Mountain Lion, and it works fine.  The iTunes library is always available for the devices, even if multiple users are signed into the Mac, or if the Mac is on the login screen.
    Any work around for Mavericks?  It competely breaks the entire media ecosystem if every device looses the home share if someone tries to use their account on the Mac.

    And just like that I may have found the solution! IT suddenly occured to me that one of the settings that got changed when we imported my wife's profile was a change to the sleep settings. Previously, I had had my iMac set to never go to sleep, since it shares our media with the rest of the house and runs eyeTV to record TV shows and such. For a little while after my wife's account was imported the settings to changes so that the computer would go to sleep after 15 minutes. I'm not totally sure why, but I think having that set up somehow meant that when we switched accounts my other account just "went to sleep" and therefore stopped sharing the iTunes library. After I noticed the change and switched the computer back to "never" for sleep the problem seems to have stopped.
    So perhaps check your sleep settings? That seems to be the only change I can think of that got things working correclty for me. I'll keep digging though and see if I can find any more helpful info. Good luck!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you getting any messages about date and time.
    Have you tried restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Are you connected to the network correctly.

  • HT5438 Appletv doesn't work with an ethernet switch?

    It worked before when connected directly to the modem, but I wanted to use my modem with my computer too for internet, so I added an ethernet switch and connected the three of them to it.  My internet works good in my computer, but apple tv doesn't work. It doesn't display netflix or any other option to watch video.

    Sidney,
    please post your configuration. Are you using a router between the ethernet switch and the cable modem  which is connected to the internet? It is important to know  where the IP address' for your devices come from. Does the router  provide them, our your internet provider? Open System Preferences on the Macbook and go to the network settings and look at the IP address. The go to settings general on the Apple TV, then network settings and look at the IP address. the last diigits to the right of the period should be close to the same number like : 60.132.19.151  and 60.132.19.134. if they are similiar go to Network utiliy in the utilities portion of the applications folder. Open the Network utitilty and select the ping option. Enter the IP address and see if you can ping it.

  • Connect unmanaged switch to 887VA fast ethernet port

    I tried connecting an unmanaged (and dumb) switch to one of the four fast ethernet ports on the back of the router. I configured the port to act as an access port bound to a specific VLAN, say no. 100.
    What I can see on the LEDs of the unmanaged switch is that the link goes up and down every few seconds. I don't know if this is related to the spanning tree protocol and unfortunately the unmanaged switch doesn't know about STP and doesn't send out BPDUs.
    So, how I should configure the port in order to avoid the link going up and down?
    The actual conf. for the port:
    interface fastEthernet 3
    switchport mode access
    switchport access vlan 100

    What do you mean by dumb siwthc? What model/make/company is that switch?
    Can you try to do the reset of the switch so that it wipe off all the config what so ever present on the box and then try to connect the switch to the router?

  • RV082 router stopping any communication on Dell Powerconnect 5424 switch

    All,
    I have a RV082 router that is currently in prod. I have a  Dell Powerconnect 5424 switch that I'd like to use in place of the  unmanaged switches I am currently using.
    I have the switch  configured with it's IP, subnet, gateway, etc. I can plug devices into  it and communicate with no problems. However, when I attempt to plug in  the router, nothign will communicate to or from the switch. The devices I  plugged in will not talk to each outer, ping the switch, or the router.  Also cannot ping to the switch from a device plugged into the router.
    If I unplug the router, comm opens back up.
    Can anyone help or offer suggestions? I've posted about this on Dell's forums too.

    Hi Chris, when connecting the router to the switch does a link light indicate functionality on the router or switch? Is the dell switch a managed switch? Is the dell switch a layer 3 switch? Does the dell switch have any vlans?
    Do you have a wireless adapter enabled on the computer you're testing with when you integrate the router?
