Yes, Disabling the Auto PVID is recommended for 802.1q ports. The AutoPVID function is for basic edge ports, I.e. Servers, workstations...ect. With Autopvid enabled, it will take the last vlan id assigned to that port as the PVID vlan. Which maybe why you had some issues... Otherwise, if you...
Unfortunately the Bladecenter switches are based off the Alteon's configuration screen. This is not the normal configuration for most of the Nortel gear. The baystacks are menu driven with with an easier menu flow. And teh 8600 and other 8000 chassis's are easy to understand once you know the...
If I may chime in here, and I believe this is where Anthony is heading..
In a mis-matched duplex setting, if one side is hard set to 100 full and the autonegotiation enabled on the switch (or vice versa), you more than likely will see the Autonegotiation end at 100 half. It will detect the...
Sorry Lee, I am at a loss on this.
I was warned on several codes in the 3.5 rev. but I do not recall which ones. I do know that the 3.5.3.0 code is a solid and stable revision. We have ran that for a while on the 8691 SF blades.
I have been around these boxes for a long time. The company I...
I noticed you mentioned slot 4, if that is the only blade affected, and if you cannot risk the reboot of the switch, how about a reset of the card?
Another note, has nortel been contacted? If so, they maybe able to determine the if you are having a hardware issue thru shell commands. (I am...
When you are looking at the port level, what does the spanning tree tab state?
Even though you have a single link to the switch, it could be a rare chance that STP is blocking on the port. Just a thought.
Did you try to call the local exchange to see what that phone number is?
I know what you are referring to as the number to call, but it is local to each exchange.
I have been working on an issue with a Nortel Contivity 1740 and a Cisco 3015 VPN Concentrator.
We have the tunnel built from the cisco end as a single PAT address, and the Nortel end as three host addresses. They communicate fine, but then we loose connection to one of the addresses. While...
It sounds as if you are referring to a Wireless Cable Router. In this case, device X is a box that will take your internet connection, and allow you to use wireless cards (Netgear as you mentioned) in various points of your house. Granted your signal is not degraded too much, it should work...
lol, We have a couple 470-PoEs... I like the first patch that was released... it randomly reboots. We are running fw: 3.6.0.6 sw:3.6.2.04
We have not had an issue with them (*knock on wood) yet. We have been running them since April. Solid code for us, if you are looking for a recommendation.
Your link failed, can you provide your Search text? Correct, 802.11n has not been standardized as you qutoe mentions. Hence the pre-n Versions that are availabe today. It was my understanding that pre-n and 802.11a/b/g were compatible at the moment. I do not recall exactly the data sheet I...
Yes, I see Nortel's down fall of the mixed baystacks... they claim it works fine. But you and I have seen the down side of it. I still agree that Stacking is the way to go, but now, my management team has issues with stacking. With that said, I have seen solid performance of the 470s stacked...
In most cases we have upgraded these when configured and left them to run the code they are on. I know on several of the switches we are seeing this on are on versions 3.0.0.5 (Beginning of the Boss code).
We have avoided the "Hybrid Stacks" since we had issues with the Business Policy...

VOIP,
Nortel designed SMLT to connect to any device that can do IEEE 802-3ad(Link Aggregation). Fortunately we have not had the same headaches as you have with the 470s... (We have about 200 throughout our network.) But if you wish to look at the Cisco line, all you have to do is the same...
You can do this without an issue, as long as you can use VLANs on all the gear that make up your network data flow to both sites. Meaning the router that handles the communications can do vlanning. Your best be in this scenario, is your 8600s handle your WAN ips.
From there you have to...
Vlan Tagging should be enabled between the two switches.
Your question is vague, please provide more detail so we do not assume when trying to assist your issue.
