color=#0000ff size=2>Yes. I've had that problem once. Most of the
time I have the problem where the management interface cannot reach it's default
gateway. I can log into the switch from the same subnet, but not from
other subnets.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

one I am currently doing, is number 3.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>1. Upgrade the code. If it's a vanilla 24G you
may not be able to fit any current code revs on there. If it's a 24G-A,
they have more storage, and can take new code.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>2. Turn off spanning tree. These suckers have
some weird spanning-tree version detection that just doesn't work. I've
made it a rule not to run spanning-tree on any EdgeIron. This may not fix
your problem...but do it anyway.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>3. Replace it with a FWSX-424. Way way way
better switch. These have been extremely stable with ZERO problems.

color=#0000ff size=2>In my opinion the OEM EdgeIron switches were a very poor
decision on Foundry's part. Your entry level gear should be some of your
best, it's frequently a stepping stone to a customer buying much larger
equipment.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems
with the management interface suddenly stop working on the older Foundry
EdgeIron 24G (10/100/1000 24 port)switches. The management interface can't
be reached locally or remotely. All other data traffic is not
affected. These are the Accton OEM switches. If any else has
experienced this, I would like to know how you resolved the problems.
Possibly upgrade firmware or just throw them in the garbage?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT> </P>
