PowerConnect 3524P Switch + Port Error

Question

I just reconfigured my switch to have the exact settings as one of my other switches (same models).

Everything seemed to work fine, but when i was on the GUI to manage the switch, i noticed something weird. I am missing the e1 port when I pull up the port configuration it starts at e2 and all ports are off by one number all of the way through g4.

Under system, when i see the image of the switch and i click on port 7 for example, it takes me to e8.

Also when i am in system>general>power-over-ethernet, when i loot at the port settings, it starts at e2, but there is also a port "NoName_NotPresentPort"

Anyone have any idea what is going on???

Also i noticed after i load the new configurations, both switches have the same "Sys Object ID", is that an issues and how would i change that?

Thanks.

The CLI does not show the mismatch.

I re-flashed the firmware, and that didn't fix anything.

I also re-did the config files, and that didn't fix anything either.

I am at a loss to what to do or how to fix this.

You are correct about the OID#.

I imported from another switch.

This has happened to two different switches.

On the second switch I didn't even load config files, just the older firmware version.

Same thing were the GUI is all off by one.

I have a 3524P on an older version of firmware.

I just bought two new 3524P switches, that had a newer version of firmware on them.

My thought was to go backwards in firmware versions, load the correct configuration files.

I assumed loading config files from different firmware version wouldn't work.
