  • 1.  EX3300 config issues for fiber ports?

    Hello,

    I'm trying to add a EX3300 switch to my rack to take advantage of new fiber lines.  Our fiber lines are directly conntect to the first port of the EX3300 switch and all the ethernet ports seem to be working no problem.  I have fiber cable running from the 2nd port of the EX3300 to a 2200 and everything seems to be working no problem.  But the problem comes from the 3rd fiber port.  It is configured exactly the same and is also going to a 2200 switch, but it doesn't have network connectivity.  So, I'm wondering if something is wrong with my config?  Or am I missing something?  The fiber cables and tranceivers are all correct, but something is just not right.  I even have other switches configured the same way that are working.  I would initally suspect a faulty fiber port, but this issue is also happening on another new EX3300 switch that we are putting on another rack with the same set up.

     

    Any ideas?  The CLI is a little unorganized because I have been changing things around (mostly moving the fiber ports in and out of ranges) to see if it made any difference.

    By default the third and fourth fibre ports on EX3300s are configured for Virtual Chassis. You'll have to change them to regular ethernet ports to use them as non-VC uplinks.

    Thank you for the response. This was a great lead to solving the issue.  Deleted the VC ports and everything is working like I wanted.
