With two identical switches, make the connection and they will start communicating. I would look at what the current 6248 configuration is, and if you have certain VLANs, security setting, etc, then it may be a good ensure the new switch is aware of those. It is a good idea to set your management VLAN with it's own IP address so you can access that specific switch for management.  Keep us updated on how the deployment goes. 6248 spec sheet. i.dell.com/.../Dell_PowerConnect_6200_Series_Spec_Sheet.pdf Networking quick reference guide. i.dell.com/.../Dell_Networking_Quick_Reference_Guide.pdf VLAN routing www.dell.com/.../app_note_38.pdf
Good day guys   I have already installed my first 6248 switch on the network in the server room. This is a stand alone unit Recently I have also purchased a second 6248 switch to be implemented onto my network. But these 2 switches will only be connected via fibre converters and a fibre line So no stacking is being done   Are there any specific settings that I must check to ensure that they both operate fine on the same network without "conflicts" or stuff like that? For instance i need to give the second PC6248 a different IP address from the existing one?   Any other features that needs to be set in order to prevent "disaster" :) thanks HEnk
Special settings when installing second Powerconnect 6248 switch?
