Switches - Small Business

I am stuck figuring the correct commands to create Layer 3 port-channel between the sg500x and a 3550.   On the SG500 I have: interface Port-channel3    ip address 10.100.31.1 255.255.255.0 & interface gigabitethernet1/1/19    channel-group 3 mode a...

Hello, We purchased (and since returned and replaced, thinking the original was defective) an SG220-50P POE Switch, and both have continuously been powering down regularly since purchase.  Both firmwares, the standard installed 1.0.0.17 and the updat...

I have purchased several SG500x switches (6) in various configs (48, 48p, 24p) to replace aging switches, that ideally I can stack all together and manage as one stack. Two of them are in one location, the rest are scattered through the facility and ...

Folks, I purchased some 2960S-24PS-L switches to support some Axis P6535-E PTZ cameras. I had a heck of a time getting the camera to draw the 25500mw it required to properly power the camera and pan/tilt motor. I finally stumbled upon LLDP. I enabled...

I'm using a SG300-28p switch (firmware updated to the latest version): and when I make a connection to an Axis M3014 POE ip camera, nothing happens. The camera doesn't boot up and it seems it doesn't get any power through POE. When I use the camera...
