CSS610-8G-S2+: Trunk not working via SFP+

Tue Apr 18, 2023 5:47 pm

Hello,
I have two CSS610-8G-S2+ which I want to connect via SFP+ Fiber link.
My Router is connected to Switch1 via Trunk on port 7. This is working fine, I can get IPs from DHCP from several VLANs on Switch1.
If I try the same on Switch2, I do not get DHCP-IPs, if I use the SFP+ Ports, if I use an 1G Ethernet-Port it's also working.


I have the following VLAN-Konfiguration on both switches:
* VLAN-Modes:
VLAN_Modes.JPG
* VLAN-Ports:
VLAN_Ports.JPG

The SFP+ Ports are Up and the Switch says that they are running with 10G.

Here the SPF-Infos:

This is my Port Isolation Configuraiton:

And there are no ACLs.

At the Stats I see traffic over the SFP+ Link:

And I have NO errors on all ports.

Finally here the system Infos

Has someone an idea, what could be the reason, why the trunk is not working via SFP+, only via Ethernet Cable?
Thanks for your help
Tom

Let me make sure I am following what you are saying.
Router connects to SW-1 port 7, and confirming both the switch is getting a DHCP address or devices on ports 1 - 6, or both? Traffic passes fine on devices on SW-1 on the various VLANs.
SW-1 and SW-2 are connected via SFP-1 (both ends). Again, confirming that lack of DHCP is for the SW-2, or devices connected to ports 1 - 6, or both. If devices connected to SW-2 are given static addresses, does traffic pass correctly?
Last part is that if you use a Gig-E connection (presumably on port 8 on both switches) instead of the SFP connections between the two switches, everything on SW-2 does work.

I don't see anything obviously wrong with the config, and off hand, I don't know of any reason that the SFP connections should not be fully working.

Hello,
Router connects to SW-1 port 7 => Correct
SW-1 provides DHCP-Addresses and access on Port 1-6.
SW-2 provides DHCP-Addresses and access on Port 1-6, when SW-1 and SW-2 are connected via Gig-E-Trunk (E.g. Eth8).

SW-2 DOES NOT provides DHCP-Addresses and access on Port 1-6 to Router, when SW-1 and SW-2 are connected via SFP+.
VLAN-Config is ident for Eth7,Eth8,SFP1 and SFP2 on both Switches.

And I also do not understand this issue.

I've just had a similar issue with my CSS610-8G-2S+ except I maybe discovered the cause ?? When setting up the switch, I had the device powered on and upon inserting the 10G SFP+ transceiver, the switch restarted. Seemed almost like a short or something. Switch rebooted and everything appeared to be well. However, I had no connectivity via the trunk SFP+ port (SFP+ 1 in my case) and the switch was inaccessible unless I connected it to my router via a trunk ether port. After doing all sorts of things to troubleshoot, I decided to just blow away my configuration and try again. To my surprise, this time the SFP+ worked as expected. I then decided to put another SPF+ module in the switch (SFP+ 2) and this yet again caused the switch to reboot. Yet again, access to the switch was lost via trunk SFP+1.

I am still trying to work out the actual solution to the problem, but I so far suspect that one of the two works:

1. Make a backup of a known working configuration and restore it to the switch should this issue occur.
2. Remove the SPF+ transceiver, power cycle the switch, and insert the transceiver only once the switch is back up and running.

I unfortunately need to wait for some down time in order to test these ideas out, unless someone else wants to try first. Should this issue occur again, I will also make a backup of the config (post reboot) so that I can compare the working config (.bin file) to the one that is not working. For now, I'm happy to at least have the switch working as I need it to.

Has anyone else experienced the spontaneous rebooting when inserting an SFP module? What odd is that this doesn't always happen. I'm able to insert/remove, etc the SFP+ module in most every instance. Only sometimes does the reboot occur. Can't figure out for the life of me what would cause this.

I played around a little bit and the following solution worked for me (but I do not really understand it, because the VLANs Tab is empty).

SW1:
This is the definition in VLAN-Tab:
* Trunk-Ports are Port 7+8 and SPF 1+2, they are in VLAN 1.
* Access-Ports are Ports 1-6, where I define the VLAN.
VLANs.JPG
The VLANs-Tab is empty.

System-Tab
In the General Section I added the Allow-VLAN.



SW2:
VLAN-Tab:
* Trunk-Ports SPF 1+2, they are in VLAN 1.
* Access-Ports are Ports 1-8, where I define the VLAN.

The VLANs-Tab is empty.

System-Tab
In the General Section I added the Allow-VLAN.



Router:
* Trunk-Port is a ethernet-Port, which is part of the BRIDGE-TRUNK.



Perhaps this helps others too.

Have a nice day.
