Dell 0WTRD1 transceiver with S522F-ON switch

Hi everyone

In our data center we have some new Dell EMC S5224F-ON switches. Our older (PowerConnect 8024F) switches use Dell 0WTRD1 transceivers (10 Gb/E SR).

Can we use the 0WTRD1 transceivers with the S5224F-ON switches?

Thank you,

Peter

PeterVH,

I am indeed seeing the WTRD1 transceivers listed as supported on the S5224F-ON switch. 

 

Let me know if this helps, or if you needed anything else.

Thank you! Plugging in the transceiver and a fibre doesn't, however, yield an active link.

Do you have any suggestions for commands I can run on the CLI (the S5224F-ON doesn't seem to have a web interface) to further debug the hardware (switch and transceiver)?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi, I think it could be related to the ports being 25g on the switches. I'm just brainstorming, separate ports on the switch won't negotiate a 10Gb link. But you can try to use port groups please check that below. Reference link (https://dell.to/3HNmhxE)

 

Port-groups on S5200F-ON switches

On the S5200F-ON series switches, port-groups determine the available front-panel Ethernet ports and supported breakout interfaces.

When you convert a port to a particular mode, all ports that belong to the port group also operate at the same mode. For example, if you convert the Ethernet 1/1/1 interface to 10g-4x, all other interfaces that belong to port-group 1/1/1 namely, 1/1/2, 1/1/3, and 1/1/4 also operate at 10g-4x mode.

NOTE The S5232F-ON platform does not use port groups. On this platform, use the interface breakout command instead.

The following shows the supported port groups and breakout modes on the S5212F-ON switch:

OS10# show port-group
