RE: Zones and Conduits with Stratix 5200?

Posted By Lesley Dec 03, 2025 01:49:39 AM
Found In Egroup: Networks \ view thread
Hi Ezobi, I think it is important to clarify what they mean with zones and conduits. In addition to what Philip mentioned, if referring to VLAN segmentation and routing, then all Stratix 5200 switches support this with static and connected routing. They also support Access Control List (ACL) ...

Hi Ryan, First of all, a verification of the switch configuration is a good starting point (e.g., correct use of smartports, ...). In CLI (accessible via WEBUI on Stratix 5200) you can do a 'show-tech support' command or add it to the debug bundle which can be downloaded via: Troubleshooting -> Debug ...

RE: Stratix Express Setup Submit Button Not Working

Hi Onayli, Based on the LED status, I don't think the switch is fully booted. In that case the express setup will not work. 1. Express setup When connected via PuTTY, please verify whether the switch fully boots or where it stops? Are there any errors shown? Stopped at bootloader prompt? If ...

Hi Onayli, If the express setup is not working, apart from looking at the suggestions that Philip mentioned in the technote, you can connect via a console cable (serial or usb) and monitor the CLI (e.g., via PuTTY). This way you can see what the switch is doing in the background. The express setup ...

Hi Onayli, Can you explain what the LED behavior was when the express setup was not working and what you did to make it work? There are 3 types of express setup: Short press (single mode) - switch assigns IP address to PC (needs to be set to automatic - DHCP) when connected to the blinking port ...

RE: User Beware Stratix NAT is not the same as 1783-NATR NAT

Hi Robert, The public device 200.200.200.245 (PC) requires to be translated to a unique IP address in the private range. So, you need a public to private translation of: 200.200.200.245 -> 192.168.0.x , where x is a not used address in that private space, for example 245. What happens in the ...

Hi Robert, Some things to bare in mind when configuring L2NAT on a Stratix 5400: Make sure you assign the NAT instance to the uplink ports on the correct VLAN (the same VLAN is used on the private and public side). When trying to access the NAT translated device from the same VLAN on the public ...

Hi Prakasha, As Philip mentioned, no issue in connecting it to the device port of the ETAP. This is the intention. In your case, as the 1794-AENTR is DLR capable, it could also be directly connect into the DLR ring. I would verify whether the cable itself is correctly installed and working ...

RE: VLAN to VLAN communication in different stratix 5400 switches not happening

Found In Egroup: Networks \ view thread
Hi James, About the REP ring, I now see you have 2 DLR rings (mistakenly thought you had 1 DLR ring). So, I assume DLR redundant gateway is enabled on those switches. In that case, no loops at that level ;-). For the connection between the switches, you do create a loop once the REP ring is operational ...

Hi James, Did you had a chance to try any of the suggestions made previously? Based in the config files, the REP configuration has not been changed. When you have a working REP ring (verify in Device Manager), you do not need to make another connection between both switches DS1 and DS2 as this ...

Hi Vilayil, From what I can see in another post, there has been several misconfigurations on the switches and I'm not sure what the status is now. From the picture shown, at least one of the switches has a fault (red LED OUT). You can see the fault via Monitor -> Syslog information via the ...

RE: Does a Stratix 8000 GB Port Trunk line provide management without setup?

Hi McKenzie, Stratix managed switches by default (OOB) have spanning tree enabled (protecting against loops). As you mentioned you went online to the switch, I assume an express setup has been performed. This also enables and configures lots of other features in the background like spanning tree ...

RE: NAT 5700 VLAN Configuration Management

Hi Xander, Based on the input you provided earlier, my understanding is that your configuration is not correct. NAT in Stratix switches is Layer 2 NAT, meaning that the VLAN doesn't change during NAT translation, only the IP addresses as per configuration. * VLAN 2 and 99 are not needed in that ...

Hi Xander, MST is backward compatible with PVST+ and Rapid-PVST+. An MST switch is connected to other STP (PVST+ and Rapid-PVST+) switches by the Common Spanning Tree (CST). But you can change it if wanted. Rapid-PVST+ uses RSTP to provide faster convergence (compared to PVST). Kind regards, ...

Hi Xander, On your questions: * Native VLAN needs to be the same on the business network switch (Layer 3) and Stratix 5700 on the access layer. The port needs to be configured as a trunk port on both ends. With smartport 'Switch for Automation' this is the case on the Stratix 5700 side. * Only the ...
