Aruba 2930F - DAC cables not working

    Posted an hour ago

    Dear experts,

    I do have 2x 2930F JL254A and 1x 2930F JL262A switch. The last mentioned was ordered just a few weeks ago while the two JL254A are in operation for three years already.

    All three switches are running the same and latest firmware version V 16.11.0019.

    The two JL254A are connected via a 10G DAC cable as per attached photo "1".
    This works without any issues.

    Together with the JL262A, I ordered additional DAC cables. Photo of type label see attached photo "2".

    I wanted to build a VSF switch stack but the new DAC cables do not seem to work. 

    Side question: can I build a VSF (ring topology) between JL254A and JL262A? Firmware version is identical. Or is VSF only possible between excatly identical models?

    I receive errors such as „self test failure err c1990000" and "self test failure err 004b0001" no matter, which two switches I test the cables with.

    Can anyone help me? What is the reason for these error messages?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Enrico
