10G SFP+ DAC between X670-G2 and Dell VxRail

10G SFP+ DAC between X670-G2 and Dell VxRail

Customer is trying to connect an X670-G2-48x (fw 21.1.3.7) with Dell VxRail 500 using 3m DAC (#10305). Isn't getting any link light or anything. Dell consultant onsite so for sake of time, he tries Intel SFP+ optical transceiver in both devices and a simple fiber patch cord between the two devices. Gets link and appears to work just fine. Hasn't done any testing and doesn't have an Extreme SFP+ transceiver to use currently.

Anyone experience issues with DACs between Dell VxRail systems and XOS switches?
Any suggestions on details to look for?

Thanks!
John

I would bet the Dell is being picky. I have never seen a 670 care about transceiver type.
Do you have a second switch to test with? See if the cable will link the 670 to another switch, if that works, it will be even more likely that the Dell is the issue.
