How to connect X440G2-24t-G4

[Alex_audv]

We have a problem whit two switches X440G2-24t-G4, after to connect by port 24 the connection is lost.

It is possible to connect them two switch X440G2-24t-G4 in cascade mode by any ethernet port?

Thanks for yous help

First I would use summitX-21.1.3.7-patch1-7.xos or (in my Opinion better) summitX-21.1.5.2-patch1-5.xos
The plain summitX-21.1.3.7.xos has some bugs, that might affect you.
What are you pinging with .216, as I can''t find that IP in your scheme?
If you can, please do a "show log" if it doesn't work with this versions and post the output here.
I wouldn't recommend using the Default VLAN, although it might work.
Using an untagged (=> Access port!) VLAN between two switches shouldn't be used in favor to using tagged vlans (=> trunk).
If you still want to use it you should configure:

code:

configure vlan Default delete ports 24
configure vlan Default add ports 24 tagged

(but shouldn't be a serious impact here)

Hi EtherMAN.

Thanks for your answer.

I attached the image the network topology

There is no problem chaining two switches together with rj45-ports. You may use port 24 to connect both switches, even if its recommended to use the sfp-ports.
But there are differences depending on which version and which configuration you are using. Depending on your responses to the assistant, your config differs and this is important, even if you only configured an ip-adress.

To be frank you have not given us enough detail as to what yo are attempting to do. You said both switches are in default configurations so that means all port have the default vlan untagged on all ports so all ports are access ports if you come from a Cisco background.

Where is the PC you are pinging from and where is the device you are pinging ... Are both directly connected to the switches... Are they both on the same switch?

This forum has some very good folks and they can be very helpful getting new EXOS users over the learning curve if we have the full picture and information.

I look forward to seeing the details in your next post
