Connecting Fiber to 6224

Question

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?

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.

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.
