I have four brand new X460-G2 switches. (base model, 24 access ports, no VIM modules used). The network drawing I was provided shows connecting the four switches in a ring topology. There are two rings of 10G SFP ports using OM-3 fiber. The idea is to have 20G links between switches (port 29-32 used).
When I connect all of this, I notice all 10G port lights flashing fast, and after logging in with Chalet, I can see some port pairs (29/30 or 31/32) show 100% utilization and a fault (red X in the dashboard status). The other pair shows no utilization and a green check in the dashboard status. The fault is always paired, but not the same pair switch to switch. No switch has all green or all red.
I think I have a configuration issue, but not clear on how switches should be configured.
Currently, the switches are:
SW1 Port 29/30 to SW2 29/30
SW 2 Port 31/32 to SW3 29/30
SW 3 Port 31/32 to SW 4 29/30
SW4 Port 31/32 to SW 1 31/32
I am not sure that I do not have a patching issue, but not sure how to determine that....I suspect there is a loop of some sort causing the problem.
I notice that if I connect only one chain of 10G I can pass traffic between the switches. IF I connect both 10G loops between switches, I do not appear to pass any traffic.
I an new to the Extreme world, so any help is appreciated. Do I need to open a support ticket?
Thank you
