Issues configuring 40Gb network

Hello all,
I have just joined a company that has a 40Gb network configured using Dell S6010 switches.
Now we have just bought a new Dell S5232F switch that should be connected to that network but I am having issues with it.
feature auto-breakout is enabled and when I connect one of it's interfaces to a computing nodes 40Gb network card, it's correctly detected and status up and speed 40Gb can be observed in the outputs.
It's just these switches are not compatible between them or I may be missing something out?
Any bit of light would be really appreciated.
Jose

Hi Jose,

Are the transceivers the same type? What happens when you try to connect? Does it not say that there is a link? If you manually set the speed does that change anything?

Hello Jose,

I guess your S6010s are running our OS9 which has a default setting of not doing negotiation

as opposed to your S5232Fs running OS10 and trying to negotiate speed on it's interfaces.

Both ends should either try a negotiation or just have a manual speed setting.

I would suggest you to set the S5232F interfaces to manual breakout (port-group option) and set speed 40000

Cheers,

Tim
