6224 Stack with SFPs
We have a stack with (2) 6224s. On port 2/g24 we have a 1000-LX SFP. It seems with that installed and operating ALL the other copper ports (1/g21-1/g24 and 1/g21-1/g23) no longer work. I can get link lights, but VLAN assignments appear to be ignored etc and no traffic is passing on the copper ports. Is this by design? Or am I majorly missing something. I really hate to lose 7 ports.

Combo ports have a combined input and output to and from the PHY chip. Only the optical port or the RJ-45 port cab be used singly, but not at the same time. Whichever cable is connected first will have use of the port PHY.

Sorry i misread your post, i thought you were talking about the combo ports being used. Can you show us the config on the stack, including those ports that are not working. Also, what devices are being plugged into those ports and how are they configured?
Thanks

So yo are saying if I have an SFP on 2/g24 with 1000-LX operating, 1/g21-g24 and 2/g21-g23 should still work normally for copper? We are not seeing that behavior at all.

That is the current configuration. However it was previously set to
interface ethernet 1/g22
mtu 9216
switchport access vlan15
exit
No matter what we did the copper on 1/g22 would not communicate on VLAN 15. So through trial and error we realized that the copper combo ports simply were acting strangely. I figured well, maybe if you use one SFP port, ALL combo ports only work via fiber.

I forgot to mention configuration.
2/g24 has the 1000-LX SFP and goes to a fiber private line providing layer 2 to our office from our data center.
The remaining ports (1/g21-g24, 2/g21-23) were being used as copper ports to channel-group 2 or for an uplink to our firewall on VLAN 15.

The combo ports work independent from each other. So if 2/g24 is using the SFP port, you cannot use the 2/g24 copper port. But all the other copper ports should still work.
I would like to get some more confirmation on whether this is related to the SFP port or not. I suggest scheduling a time when you can plug two clients into the copper side of the combo ports, so for example 2/g22 and 2/g23. Place those ports in access mode for VLAN 15, assign the clients static IP addresses suitable for the VLAN, and try to ping from one client to the other. Observe and record the outcome.
Then temporarily unplug the 2/g24 sfp connection and then test again, see If there is a change in behavior.
On a side note, the latest firmware for the 6200 switches has just came out.
I would suggest updating this also, as it can help with operability.
Thanks
