Ah right thank you. The below is the current set up. I'll give that a try [IMAGE]    
Hi   We have a DELL S5248F-ON running O/S 10 Enterprise. I’m new to DELL switches and for some testing I am using a DELL SFP-1G-T to directly connect my laptop to the switch using ethernet. The switchport configuration is as follows: interface ethernet1/1/6  no shutdown  switchport access vlan 10  mtu 1500  flowcontrol receive off  flowcontrol transmit off  spanning-tree port type edge However, I can’t get the port to come up (it’s currently in an up, down state). I can see that the switch is ok with the SFP. Please can anyone offer any advice? thanks
