Hi
I have a new cisco meraki ms120-48 switch which has 4 SFP ports. I have a number of other meraki switches that also have SFP ports and they are not a problem.
I connected the above switch to a Dell which has 4 lan ports
2x QLogic BCM57800 10 Gig ethernet(NDIS VBD)- have upgraded the drivers
2x Qlogic BCM57800 gig ethernet ports. (these work fine using a lan cable)
The server is a Dell PowerEdge R730xd Server, 2 Xeon cpu's and 256GB or ram.
When i plug the new SFP cable into the server the lan lights light up, however when the other end is plugged into the switch there is no indication of connection. I have tried all 4 SFP ports on the switch and they are all unresponsive.
I have checked on the meraki dashboard and there is no indication that anything is plugged in. I have called the meraki helpdesk but they think it may be a cable problem. However this is a brand new cisco SFp - H10GB-CU3M cable and adapter. I cannot test that just yet as i have users on the network.
Has anyone experienced anything similar, is there anything i have not done. (besides swap the cable)
Thanks
