Connecting Fiber to 6224
Hi all,
I have a power connect 6224 and when I plug in a SPF with Fiber I do not get a link light. Moving the fiber to other nearby switches results in an instant link. I have look at the interface status and all ports are enabled. I am a little confused because the 4 SPF ports are labelled the same some of the Ethernet ports, so I am not to sure on what port I need to check using the CLI.
I have done a factory reset and still no luck. I am having the same issue on another 6224 where both these switches used to be stacked. In troubleshooting I removed the stacking cables and modules but still no link.
Any thoughts?

Ports 21-24 are combo ports. This means that they can be used as either Copper or Fiber ports, but not both at the same time. That is the first thing I would check. You can also test the ports by doing a simple loopback test. If you plug port 23 into port 24, they should come up. You can use the following command to do a basic diagnostic on the ports: #show fiber-ports optical-transceiver. If the 6224 is running out of date firmware, getting the firmware up to date can help with overall operability.

Do you have the part number of the transceiver being used?

thanks for the reply and info. The firmware has been updated and I test the loop back. Part # on the SPF module is FTLF8519P2BNL. When I plug this module and fiber into an older 5224 switch I get an link light right away.
Some reason reason the switch still thinks its part of a stack. I removed the stacking cables and modules but still shows 48 ports.
Thanks again

Resolved. issue was related to the SPF module, I was using an 850nm but needed the 1350nm.
The setup is for a building to building connection.

When you power off and on which device? The media converter, switch, or camera? What troubleshooting have you done up to this point? Have you found anything that will get the link back up? Is anything recorded in the logs? #show logging

Dear Daniel Covey,
We power off for all device media converter, switch and camera. when we turn power on the Line SD and PWR on media convertor is on. Camera link to media convertor is up. SFP link is up but the connection unreachable.
below is interface detail:
interface ethernet1/1/9
switchport access vlan 64
no shutdown
negotiation on
Below is record log:
[os10:trap], %Dell EMC (OS10) %log-notice:IFM_OSTATE_UP: Interface operational state is up :ethernet1/1/9
[os10:trap], %Dell EMC (OS10) %log-notice:IFM_OSTATE_UP: Interface operational state is up :ethernet1/1/11
thanks,
Youphak.
