Connecting 2 switches Via Fibre

[leegreen01]

I have 2 cisco switches a SG200-26FP and a SG350XG-26F  i have connected both switches via fibre and i am able to connect to all devices connected but i am not able to access the interface on the SG350XG-26F but if i connect the 2 switches via CAT6 cables then i can access the interface any suggestions how i can reach this over the fibre connection

Hello,

what interface are you not being able to reach, the GUI ?

On the SG350XG-26F, under Port Settings --> Port Type, make sure you have selected either 'Combo Ports' or '10G-Fiber-Optics'...

Hello

Yes its the GUI i cannot access everything else on my network i can access via the switch

It shows 10G-Fibre-Optics but i do not see an option to change this to combo ports

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

10G-Fibre-Optics is okay, that is the right port setting.

Are you using IP address 192.168.1.254 (the factory default), in your web browser ? Is your system LED flashing continuously ? Make sure the OOB port is connected to your PC, that is the port you need to access the web GUI.

[leegreen01]

Yes connecting to the OOB port works but i wanted to know if there was another way as i want to have mutiple switches connected via fibre to the X350 and be able to reach the interface from any switch

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

that is possible when the device is using a DHCP-assigned IP address or an administrator-configured static IP address. That address must be reachable from within your network.

Check the attached user guide for reference.
