H3C S5500-28F-EI weird problems

[ccc]

I have dynamic aggregated links to a static 3com 5500 sfp ei switch, the links work i.e. PC's can get email and Internet etc. but I cannot ping or connect via web browser only via console?

 

1. Is there a port reset command to reset the port(s) to default?

2. The aggregate links only have the default Vlan, so should those ports be trunked?

3. Should arp detection on aggregate links be disabled?

4. Should Loopback detection on aggregate links be disabled?

 

Hope someone can help, I've looked through several manuals but cannot see the wood for the trees and I would really like to avoid resetting the switch.

Hm, first of all H3C S5500-28F-EI is not the same as 3Com 5500. H3C S5500-EI series is running Comware version 5 OS, 3Com 5500 is running Comware 3. I think the "3Com 5500" is a "H3C S5600"

 

If you want link aggregation, use the same configuration for it on both switches. static-static, dynamic-dynamic

 

1. Log into the switch and delete the config file and turn it off an on again. For Comware 5, it won´t let you "reboot" while there is no config saved.

2. First you create the "interface bridge-aggregation NUMBER", then you can put it on the "interface gigabit" with "port link-aggregation group NUMBER". After that you to the "interface bridge-aggregation NUMBER" back and configure the VLAN you want. It can be untagged or tagged, so a trunk or hybrid, depending on your wishes. Btw, download the manual for it. There are examples given.

3. I never activated arp detection for aggregated links. Turn it off

4. Yes please disable it.
