My fibre internet provider requires that I use their transceiver (a Huawei SmartAX MA5671A SC transceiver) which works seamlessly in my Powerconnect 5424. I use one SFP port essentially as a media converter to my router (vlan 35) and then back to the switch (vlan 1). This has worked without any issue for months.

I wanted to move to a POE capable switch and picked up a 5524P. I have been able to get the 5524P to recognize the transceiver by setting the port speed to 1000. The switch reports that the link is up (show fiber-ports optical-transceiver) but I can't seem to establish a connection. The LEDs also seem to show activity.

is there something else I can do to try to identify the problem?

here is my configuration on the 5524P:

interface vlan 1
ip address 192.168.2.4 255.255.255.0
!
interface vlan 35
name "Bell Internet"
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
switchport access vlan 35
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/17
channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/18
channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/19
channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/20
channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface tengigabitethernet1/0/1
speed 1000
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 1-34,36-4094
!

 

and on the 5424

interface ethernet g24
switchport mode trunk
exit
vlan database
vlan 35
exit
interface ethernet g2
switchport access vlan 35
exit
interface ethernet g24
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 35
exit
interface vlan 35
name "Bell Internet"
exit

 

Any help would be appreciated
