Problem in connection between VSP7254XSQ & 4826GTS-PWR+

[mixthoor]

I migrate the ASWes from old DSW (5530-24TFD) into new DSW/BEB (VSP7254XSQ). I don't see the old 4826GTS-PWR+ on my new DSW (gigabit1/5). I see only f.e. the ERSes ERS3549GTS-PWR+ (gigabit1/4).
- The AUTOTOPOLOGY table doesn't show me the 4800.
- I am not able to reach my old 4800 in MGMT network, via ICMP or SSH.
- The physical interface is up und operational
- I changed the GBIT Tranceiver - no effects, Port is still up and operational
- I reconnected the ERS3500 from gi1/4 into gi1/5 - the SW could be visible
- I reconnected the ERS4800 from gi1/5 into gi1/4 - teh SW is not visible
- L1 is OK.

Any ideas?

Hi mixthoor,

regarding the missing topology information of the ERS-4800 please make sure that "auto-topology" is enabled on the ERS-4800. Which software version have you running on the ERS-4800? Did you try to reset the 4800 to factory defaults?

VSP7200 (VOSS-Code):
LLDP is currently (VOSS 5.1.1.1) not implemented per default.
In VOSS 5.1 Fabric Attach (FA) comes in place and if you enable FA on uplink port(s) LLDP will be come active on this/those ports to discover the "LLDP neighbor(s)" to get FA working.

- On the Uplink Port (connection to ERS 4800), I don't see any MAC address.
- I can activate FA in the Port, then I receive the info, that the "VLANs on the Port are not allowed". I need the VLANs on this Port, it's UNI and there are many tagged frames from diffrent subnetworks.
- Autotopology on the ASW (ERS 4826) is activ, on the DSW I can see the connection, via old DSW I can reach the ASW with ICMP or SSH.
- I made an BOSS Upgrade on the ERS4826 - it doesn't help. On old DSW is visible, on new DSW not.
- I created the Case via Avaya Support Page.

[mixthoor]

The problem was on 25,26 Ports (49,50) on ERS4826, ERS4850 switches. I had to replace the Gbit tranceivers from 25,26 into 23,24 and 49,50 into 47,48. After that I was able to see the ASWes via SONMP and reach them via SSH.

[MatzeKS]

ok, that means you plugged your standard GBICs in the SFP+ ports 
On ERS4826 the ports 25+26 will also work with SFP+

ASW is via ICMP or SSH or SONMP not visible. When I take the shared port 47 or 48, it works...

[MatzeKS]

You tried to use this GBIC Type (AA1419048-E6) on one of your ERS4850 SFP+ Ports, this type of Transceiver will work on ports 47-48 only.

AA1419048-E6:
Avaya / Nortel 1-port 1000Base-SX Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver, connector type: LC. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Interface

I'd recommend you this type of transceiver instead:
AA1403015-E6

[mixthoor]

I made some tests. I becam the tipp from Avaya Support - disable auto-negotiation.

I need more information about TSHOOT Layer 1 on Avaya Switches in the future. I though, that L1 was OK, when I saw on the DSW:

I see right know, it is not enough. Can you give me some tipps about TSHOOT L1 on Avaya?

[mixthoor]

I found useful command:

Code: [Select]

  config       Show pluggable-optical-modules config info
  detail       Show detail SFP/SFP+ info

The solution in this fall was disabling the Auto-Negotiation on ASWes (ERS 4800) and set the speed/duplex manually. Case closed.

[Dominik]

Good to hear that it worked out.
Thanks for sharing the solution for your problem.
