I'm having some issues getting started with networking. The nodes do not have external access and when connected into the switch, the ping command reports a time out. My architecture is a comware based 180XGc (internal) switch matched to a 4QSFP+ (external, uplink). The uplink (through FGE1/1/1) is connected to a SFP+ port on switch.
When in the moonshot,
> set switch power on sa
> connect switch vsp sa
to connect into the switch. Then get an overview of the interface(s),
<HPE>display interface brief
which gives the output,
<HPE>display interface brief
Brief information on interfaces in route mode:
Link: ADM - administratively down; Stby - standby
Protocol: (s) - spoofing
Interface Link Protocol Primary IP Description
InLoop0 UP UP(s) --
M-GE0/0/0 UP UP --
NULL0 UP UP(s) --
REG0 UP -- --
Brief information on interfaces in bridge mode:
Link: ADM - administratively down; Stby - standby
Speed: (a) - auto
Duplex: (a)/A - auto; H - half; F - full
Type: A - access; T - trunk; H - hybrid
Interface Link Speed Duplex Type PVID Description
FGE1/1/1 DOWN auto A A 1
FGE1/1/2 DOWN auto A A 1
FGE1/1/3 DOWN auto A A 1
FGE1/1/4 DOWN auto A A 1
(output from the nodes cut off)
My thoughts are that maybe the 'Administratively down' status on the link could be it? Like, I may need to bring the interface up? Or else the FGE1/1/1 should be told to operate in a ten gig mode so that it matches the SFP+ port?
I've read quite a few of the manuals learning the comware syntax and also tried editing the config file directly but I'm just not being successful.
