Connect M5300 & S3300 via SPF
I have a direct attached SPF cable (AXC761) and have plugged it in from a M5300 to a S3300 switch. Both ends are showing as link down and there is nothing plugged in to the corrosponding ethernet (CA...
Hi John,
I'm not trying to create a stack, just a normal uplink.
The SPF ports in question (Port 46 on the M5300) cannot be configured for a stack anyway. The only ports that support a stack on the M5300 are 49,50,51,52
My apologies for the confusion.
May I know the exact model number of your M5300? Have you checked the S3300 if the port is set to "Ethernet"? It seems that this device has a lifetime chat support, I suggest you to open a ticket on NETGEAR support and please let them know the status of your switch so that your issue will be addressed immediately.
Regards,
Hi John
Yes it is set to Ethernet on both switches. Models are:
M5300-52G ProSafe 48-port
S3300-52X ProSAFE 48-Port
FYI - Netgear Support Chat is down
I can't believe that no-one knows how to uplink two switches with SPF?
Netgear is the worst brand I've ever experienced.
Will never sell it again.
