Dell PowerConnect 5448 to 6248 config changes
I have a working 5448 config:
https://web.c9h.org/~cjac/for-dell/powerconnect-5448.cfg
Of interest:
interface tengigabitethernet1/0/1
channel-group 7 mode auto
switchport mode general
!
interface tengigabitethernet1/0/2
channel-group 7 mode auto
switchport mode general
!
...
interface Port-channel7
switchport mode trunk
!
and I have a non-working 6248 config:
https://web.c9h.org/~cjac/for-dell/powerconnect-6248.cfg
Of interest:
interface ethernet 1/xg1
channel-group 7 mode auto
exit
!
interface ethernet 1/xg2
channel-group 7 mode auto
exit
!
interface port-channel 7
switchport mode general
switchport general allowed vlan add 78-80,92,100-101,179,279
They're connected to a Mikrotik CRS309-1G-8S+ via a LAG over the 2 SFP+ ports. LLDP shows the ports up, but only the 5448 can ping the uplink. Any guidance would be hlepful.

Please be aware our Dell Networking 6200 switches are routing in software hence you need to specifically enable it
and this is also the reason why you will see high response times and random no replies when pinging switch interfaces.
But to be clear the routing path should not get affected by this - you may verify by pinging between endpoints.
Please refer to the user guide from page 135 to enable IPv6 interfaces and routing:

Hi cjac00,
I need to check something about this. I will come back to you asap.
Need to wait for my network config specialist

Hi again.
Referring to the PowerConnect 6248 CLI Guide in "general mode" should just one VLAN be untagged.
So, the command should be something like:
Here you can check out the guide: https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_networking/esuprt_net_fxd_prt_swtchs/powerconnect-6248_reference%20guide2_en-us.pdf
On the other end, it could also be the config on the Mikrotik.
Let me know if it works.
Cheers
Stefan

The mikrotik has a simple config which I will include inline below. You can see that the two switches have similar configs on this side.

Are only the CX4 ports connected to the network?

Ok, that is the right expansion module. Which transceivers are you using?

the cx-4 ports are the only ones attached to any other switches. port 1/g2 is directly attached to an end system via a USB ethernet dongle for testing.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your prompt attention.
I don't know what the model name / id of the dual 10GE sfp+ module is, but maybe this will help?

on review, it's U691D
However, note that I also have a linux machine attached directly to port 1/0/g2 and it is also not forwarding frames aside from LLDP. Nothing on the switchport even when in access mode.

The Mikrotik detects the 6248 via LLDP, as does a linux machine I attached to 1/g2:
cjac@ogion:~$ sudo lldpctl enx24f5a2f1ce45
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LLDP neighbors:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interface: enx24f5a2f1ce45, via: LLDP, RID: 2, Time: 0 day, 00:00:23
Chassis:
ChassisID: mac 00:25:64:2a:c5:5f
Port:
PortID: ifname 1/0/2
TTL: 120
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then put the switchport into access vlan 80:
switch01#conf
switch01(config)#interface ethernet 1/g2
switch01(config-if-1/g2)#switchport mode access
switch01(config-if-1/g2)#switchport access vlan 80
Warning: The use of large numbers of VLANs or interfaces may cause significant
delays in applying the configuration.
switch01(config-if-1/g2)#end
and then added an IP for vlan 80 to the switch config.
switch01#conf
switch01(config)#interface vlan 80
switch01(config-if-vlan80)#ip address 172.16.80.210 255.255.255.0
switch01(config-if-vlan80)#end
as well as an address to the interface on the linux side:
cjac@ogion:~$ sudo ip addr add 172.16.80.64/24 dev enx24f5a2f1ce45
but despite the LLDP apparently functioning and the route to that IP through that interface, I see no IP connectivity on this access mode switch either.
cjac@ogion:~$ ping -c4 -t4 172.16.80.210

I am not certain what the "Required" value under Authorization means in this report. Maybe that has something to do with the failure to pass anything but LLDP packets on that interface?

Does it show stats for the transceiver? Are both the switch and the router on the same VLAN?

Regarding the question about the "router" being on the same vlan, I assume you are referring to the linux device directly attached to 1/g2, which is in access mode on vlan 80:
It's hard for them to be on the same VLAN as the switchport is in access mode on vlan 80. The linux machine has not detagged anything from the interface if that is your question, and it treating the interface the same as any other interface attached to a switchport in access mode.
The Mikrotik 10GE switch does not specify what vlans it will listen for and forwards them to all interfaces in the same way as is done for the working 5424 switch's LAG. The Mikrotik has an IP address on vlan 80 and 179 and replies to pings for each VLAN when those ping requests are sent by the 5448, but not when sent by the 6248.
Do I need the 6248 to explicitly authorize those VLANs to egress frames?
