strange behaviour between S4048-ON and powerconnect N4064F

Hi

I have a force10 connected to a powerconnect N4064 through a 10G link. 

i don't undestrand why the link didin't come up

here what i see on the force10

show interfaces tengigabitethernet 1/9
TenGigabitEthernet 1/9 is up, line protocol is down
Hardware is DellEMCEth, address is f4:8e:38:5a:77:f0
Current address is f4:8e:38:5a:77:f0
Pluggable media present, SFP+ type is 10GBASE-SR
Medium is MultiRate, Wavelength is 850nm
SFP+ receive power reading is -2.4642dBm
SFP+ transmit power reading is -1.9037dBm
Interface index is 2098180
Internet address is not set
Mode of IPv4 Address Assignment : NONE
DHCP Client-ID :f48e385a77f0
MTU 1554 bytes, IP MTU 1500 bytes
LineSpeed auto
Flowcontrol rx off tx off
ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 65w1d22h
Queueing strategy: fifo

The optical budget seem good and the interface is up but the line protocol down

on the N4000 part i have
Interface Name : .............................. Te2/1/1
SOC Hardware Info :............................ BCM56846_A1
Link Status : ................................. Up
MTU Size : .................................... 1518
Port Mode [Duplex] : .......................... Full
Port Speed : .................................. 10000
Link Debounce Flaps : ......................... 0
Auto-Negotation Status : ...................... Off
Burned MAC Address : .......................... F8B1.5669.D1A5
L3 MAC Address................................. F8B1.5669.D1A6
Sample load interval : ........................ 300
Received Input Rate Bits/Sec : ................ 0
Received Input Rate Packets/Sec : ............. 0
Transmitted Input Rate Bits/Sec : ............. 96

Port Temp Voltage Current Power Power TX LOS
[C] [Volt] [mA] [dBm] [dBm] Fault
--------- ---- ------- ------- ------- ------- ----- ---
Te1/1/1 24.9 3.339 7.5 -2.607 -2.216 No No
Te2/1/1 23.0 3.332 7.3 -1.794 -2.459 No No

the optical budget is good at both end

i really dont know why the line protocol is down on the S4048 side

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Are the optics both 10G-SR 850nm? The line speed is auto on one and manually set on the other, try auto on both. Also set the MTUs to be the same.   

Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
