Thank you Charles for your response!   I found this resolution that I am following now: [URL]   However, I also learned the switch has PowerConnect Limited Lifetime support until 2040, so I think I’ll get it figured out eventually..    -Mike
I recently purchased a PC6248 which had been reset to factory defaults. I was able to use a console cable to run the setup wizard, but afterwards I am unable to get link on any of the front ethernet ports. I feel like I'm missing something simple, but this is a lot different than the PC5324 I have experience with. console>show switch Management Standby Preconfig Plugged-in Switch CodeSW Status Status Model ID Model ID Status Version--- ---------- --------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -----------1 Mgmt Sw PCT6248 PCT6248 OK 3.3.12.1 console#show running-config!Current Configuration:!System Description "PowerConnect 6248, 3.3.12.1, VxWorks 6.5"!System Software Version 3.3.12.1!Cut-through mode is configured as disabled!configurestackmember 1 2exitip address 10.0.10.11 255.255.255.0ip default-gateway 10.0.10.1username "admin" password 4e6529bc37ceae109f9f7e1444ca6e6 level 15 encrypted!interface ethernet 1/g1spanning-tree portfastexitexit console>show interfaces status Port Type Duplex Speed Neg Link Flow ControlState Status----- ------------------------------ ------ ------- ---- --------- ------------1/g1 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g2 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g3 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g4 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g5 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g6 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g7 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g8 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g9 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g10 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g11 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g12 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g13 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g14 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g15 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g16 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g17 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g18 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive1/g19 Gigabit - Level N/A Unknown Auto Detach Inactive--More-- or (q)uit console#show logging Logging is enabledConsole Logging: level warning.
