Dell Powerconnect - Assign IP to a specific port / MAC

I am trying to configure a Dell PowerConnect 3248 for a a few devices on my network. I have full physical access to the switch (it is on my desk next to me while I set this up) and can connect to it both through the console and via its webgui. I know the basics of switches and their configuration as well. Although most of that is 'textbook' knowledge rather than hands on. So here it goes...I need to configure certain devices witha static IP but for reasons unknown (proprietary hardware with no access to its software) we cannot set the IP of these devices manually / internally. They do give us the MAC address though.
Now, is this something that would be possible within the switch itself? While giving it the ability to communicate with our network and internet? I have seen some mentions about VLANs - but have zero clue on really anything...

You have to bring the interface up, before you can use it. Try the following.
ifconfig qfe8 plumb
ifconfig qfe8 192.168.1.2 broadcast + netmask +
ifconfig qfe8 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig qfe8 up
then check with ifconfig -a

MAC mini will not connect to Dell PowerConnect 5524

Have several Mac Mini's that will not connect to Dell PowerConnect 5524 switches. Proofed Cabling, Ports, and Minis. Something between the two is not happy. Searched Dell and Apple sites and found no information.

Most routers document a default router address such as http://192.254.0.1, or something similar you can manually enter in your web browser to log into their setup. Apple's Safari can't login all routers. In some cases Fifefox, Chrome, Opera, or Omniweb is needed, and in some cases you have to use Windows virtualization to use Internet Explorer. Once you get to the page, the username is typically by default system, and the password is admin, or sometimes it is vice versa. Verify with Dell support what they use. Then you can configure it at will.
As long as you have a Core2Duo or Core i Mac Mini, you can connect via 802.11n wireless. Some earlier Core2Duo may need Apple's 802.11n patch to be installed to be able to use 802.11n. Otherwise, all Mac Minis support at least 802.11g. The old PowerPC Mac Minis had an optional Airport Extreme card that could be installed for 802.11g support. Those only had 2 USB ports on rear.

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?

WRT54G: How do I limit access to specific ports, only to local IP's

Using a WRT54G with Windows XP, and I've setup a web server that I'm still testing. Until I understand the security better, I want to limit access from outside IP's to the port that it's running on, but NOT limit access from the outside to services running on other ports. Is there a way to block a range of IP addresses (or conversely, only permit access for a limited range of IP addresses) to a specific port? So for example (assuming server's on Port 99, and IP address to the outside world is 99.99.99.99: Port 99: Blocked IP Range: 0.0.0.0-99.99.99.98, and 99.99.99.100-255.255.255.255 - OR Port 99: Allowed IP Range: 99.99.99.99 Alternatively, I would be interested to permit access to the web server port, only for certain MAC addresses. Is this pretty secure, and if so, how can this be done? I've poked around the router settings and spent a good deal of time researching this; any help would be greatly appreciated...

Why do you want to block IP addresses: "IP Range: 0.0.0.0-99.99.99.98, and 99.99.99.100-255.255.255.255" ?   This is everybody on the web, except your router!    If you really want to block all these people, just unplug your router from your Internet connection. That is a block that cannot be hacked!
Normally a server is assigned a fixed LAN IP address. This address must be outside the DHCP server range of your router, and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Next you forward a port (for example, 99) to the server's fixed LAN IP address.
Data arriving at the Internet port of your WRT54G for port 99 will then be forwarded to your server. If you have other Internet services (i.e. server B) running on port 1297, then data that arrives at the Internet port of your WRT54G for port 1297 will be directed to server B.   Assuming that you only have port 99 and port 1297 open, then any other unrequested data (for any other port) that arrives at the Internet port of your WRT54G will simply be ignored (and thereby blocked).    If you connect another computer to a LAN port of the WRT54G, connect to the Internet, and request data, then when that data arrives at the Internet port of the WRT54G, it will be allowed to pass, and it will be routed to your computer.
In summary, by default, all router ports are closed. The only way to get data through the router is either to open a port (using port forwarding, or alternatively, the UPnP function), or for someone (or some program) on the LAN to request data from the web.
The router cannot limit the use of a port by MAC address.    When you open a port on your router, you are opening your server to invasion from anyone on the Internet. So, your server must be setup to protect itself.   Rather than limiting server use by MAC address (which can be faked), your server should be setup to require a user name and password.

Network ACL for two specific ports

As far as I can tell there is no way to set Network ACLs such that only two specific ports are available. I'm using Oracle 11gR2.
I'd like a HTTP port and an SMTP port open for the local loopback address. These are ports 7777 and 25. It's my understanding that you can have only one ACL per host. While it seems you can create more, any additional ACL's for the same host don't always work as expected. So does anyone have any advice as how I can do this? I'd rather not have every port between 7777 and 25 available but this is what I currently have...
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL(
acl => 'local_loopback.xml'
, host => '127.0.0.1'
, lower_port => 25
, upper_port => 7777
);

E.g. I assign ports 80, 7777, 8080, and a few others, in a single web-acl.xml, to a network target (host or domain).
Read the usage notes in Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference.>Thanks I'll try that. I think we had problems in the past with separate ACL's containing rules for the same host, the response we got back from support was not to do that. This way didn't occur to me.

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,

Cisco WLC2125 Reporting Traps to a specific port

Hi all,
I am currently looking into reporting options for my Cisco WLC2125. From what I can see, I have two options, SNMP or Syslog however I would like to assign either Syslog or SNMP traffic via a specific port on the controller.
The reason is because i want to keep this traffic seperate to my wireless network.
My knowledge of controllers (and syslog and SNMP for that matter) but I can enter IP addresses for the servers however i cannot see how to assign this traffic to a specific port.
Is this possible? If so how?
Many Thanks,
-c

No, its not possible with a 2100. Best practices say you should only have one connection from a 2100 controller to the network, so all traffic to the network would go out that port.

ISCSI and Dell PowerConnect 6224

We have a Virtualization project in the early design stages utilizing VMWare and a iSCSI SAN environment.
We are a Cisco only data center at present, but one vendor quote has all Dell equipment included.
For switching they have specified the PowerConnect 6224 (24 Gbit ports).
A second vendor quote is all IBM equipment, but leaves out the network switching equipment (our choice).
I'd like to keep our data center a Cisco only environment. I need to understand what Catalyst switch(s) would be comparable
to the PowerConnect 6224. A 24 port switch was quoted. May need a pair for failover depending upon
Today we use a pair of Cisco Catalyst 3750G (24 port) L3 switches for our core distribution environment.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe Campbell:
Why do you need to keep it an all-Cisco shop?
My shop deployed the Dells and we loved them. Just set up and walk away.
The Dell PowerConnect 6200 and 8000 series switches are very competitive. The 6224's 24-gig ports operate at wire speed with a non-blocking backplane, plus a zero-loss throughput. They offer up to four 10G SFP+, XFP, 10G-Base-T and CX4 uplinks. They also offer stackability of up to 12 switches (576 ports), advenaced QoS and security features.
The Dell 6200s are also iSCSI optimized, which no Cisco switch offers.
Read the tolly Group's reviews.
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pwcnt/en/tolly_pwcnt6200_test.pdf
If you want to know which Cisco switch offers the same functionality, go to Cisco's website and match them. But be assured that the Cisco switch will be anywhere between 3 to 5 times the cost of the Dell 6200s.

Dell PowerConnect 6248 VLANs

Hello,I am 100% sure I am overthinking this, and wanted to ask some questions about my Dell PowerConnect 6248s.I am trying to colocate a Cisco 7940G IP Phone with a PC on the same drop. The Cisco phones have a built in switch for this.Currently I have a flat network (no VLANs) and my routing is done through a Barracuda Firewall. On port 5 of my Barracuda Firewall, it is connected to a stack of 5 Dell PowerConnect 6248's. The subnet is 172.16.4.0/24. The IP address of the switch stack is 172.16.4.253 and the Default Gateway is the IP address of the Barracuda at 172.16.4.254. All traffic is passing over the default VLAN 1 (which on the 62XX is non routable).Long story short - on the 172.16.4.0/24 network, I have 226 static connections. There are not enough IPs left to add the phones. I would like to setup VLAN 200in the 172.16.5.0/24...

Make sure the community string used is properly defined in Accounts.
To troubleshoot you can create a custom rule with target class as Node & keeping the OID as blank which should fetch all types of events from those switches.
If there is no data-- Community string could be a problem
If there is data-- cross check the OIDs in those alerts.
Hope this helps !!

How do I ping a specific port (from a specific por...

Does anyone know of any software that will allow me to measure the bandwidth/throughput/travel time/etc of packets from a specific port to a specific port on another network? Ping gives the travel time, but doesn't allow specified ports. Iperf allows you to specify the port you connect to, but not the port you connect from. Wireshark doesn't send packets, though I think it does record traffic by port. Pathping is the same as ping in that it doesn't "do" ports & neither does tracert (and ping/pathping/tracert traffic may well be blocked where normal traffic isn't). So, does anyone have any ideas (or is friendly with their comapny's network admin)?

Llama8
did a quick google and came up with this:-

seems to do the trick but not sure you can specify the source port on the pinging machine
its a start though
Never tried this so caveat emptor

Show mac command...to tell me the MAC adress of a specific port - Linksys SGE 2010

Hello together,
we are using a Linksys SGE 2010 in our small business. I would like to know which devices (MAC-Address) is behind a specific port. Does the switch have this function? I can't type commands, because the SSH or telnet interface is a menu (see screenshot). Because I want to document which PC is on which port...therefore I need the MAC behind every specific port.
Thank You in advance.
Kind regards,

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:

No weblogic server was found running on the specific port.

Hello,
While trying to target/connect to the weblogic server from Grid control 10.2.0.5,I'm getting the below error.
1.Added the connection filter in the weblogic console to allow connections only from the grid control's host
2.But while trying to connect from the grid control to the weblogic server for monitoring,its failed with the below exception,
"No weblogic server was found running on the specific port.if the administration port is SSL enabled,specify the keystore and try again"
3.However,I can able to connect to the weblogic if I dont give any connection filter arguments.
"No weblogic server was found running on the specific port.if the administration port is SSL enabled,specify the keystore and try again"
Appreciate for any pointers/help to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Next thing to do is to make sure that the parent paths issue is out of the way:
Create a new asp file at the location: d:\inetpub\wwwroot\SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer\server\bin\test.asp
with the following content:
<%@ Language="JScript" %>

<%
Response.write("Success");
%>
If you do not see the "Success" string printed out when you call your asp in the following way:
http://server:port/VCServer/server/bin/test.asp
then you still don't have this parent paths configured correctly.
If you do then you should open an OSS message and let dev support have a look at your installation.

Yaniv.
