Errors on SG500X / SG500XG stack

Michel Zehnder
Level 1
Level 1

Hello

We have added two new Units (SG500XG-8F8T) to an existing stack (SG500X-24P)
Prior to that we have upgraded to 1.4.0.88 on all Switches.

We have changed the Stack Mode to Advanced Hybrid XG.

It seemed to work for two days until we now got some errors.
Also, it seems that the Stack is not as stable as it should be, with Stack Ports going up and down.

Any ideas on what we can do?
We have already rebootet the Stack.

The switches are in a remote location, so pulling cables and stuff takes a while :)

Thanks
Michel

Hi Michael,

I have seen this FATAL ERROR *****    Reporting Task: BOXS. only once and we fixed with changing the cable.

But please verify the following:

1. boot code is also upgraded on all of the switches

2. SG500XG-8F8T - needs to have stacking ports manually chosen; 

3. and you did already advanced hybrid mode needs to be chosen on all devices

Regards,

Aleksandra

Hello Aleksandra

1. Boot code is updated (1.4.0.2)

2. Yes, the ports are designated as stacking ports (manually)

3. Yes

That means I need a drive to the Datacenter then, I guess...

 

Hi Michel,

In this case as the first step I would recommend you to open the ticket with Small Business Team and please send me the case number via private message. They will prepare troubleshooting steps and/or start the webex session once you on site. That would be the moset efficient approach:

Hi Michel,

I'm having same problem with 2 x SG500XG-8F8T and 2 x SG500X-24P in same stack (same stacking mode and software versions).

Problem occurs more frequently during high traffic rate and with multi switch etherchannel has i see in your logs. 

Do you have any response to resolve your issue?

Regards,

Helder Coelho

 

We haven't hat the fatal errors anymore after splitting up the stack into 2 stacks with interconnect. Not ideal, but at least this works
