C.1.1.3 Unable to Connect to the Switch using Telnet or SSH

The Motorola Solutions RF Series Switch is physically connected to the network, but connecting to the switch using SSH 
or Telnet does not work. 

The table below provides suggestions to troubleshoot this issue. 

C.1.1.4 Web UI is Sluggish, Does Not Refresh Properly, or Does Not Respond

When configuring the switch, it is easy to overlook the fact that the host computer is running the browser while the 
Motorola Solutions RF Series Switch is providing the data to the browser. Occasionally, while using the Web UI the switch 
does not respond or appears to be running very slow; this could be a symptom of the host computer or the network, and 
not the switch itself. The table below provides suggestions to troubleshoot this issue. 

DHCP is not enabled on a 
Gigabit Ethernet 
interface

• Enable DHCP for the port by using the CLI command or the Web UI to 

enable DHCP on the port connected to your external network.

• Verify that DHCP packets are being sent to the port using a sniffer tool

• If DHCP packets are seen, check to ensure that the switch is not 

configured for a static IP on the port.

All else...

Contact Motorola Solutions Support.

Possible Problem

Suggestions to Correct

Telnet is not enabled 
and/or SSH is disabled

Verify that Telnet or SSH are enabled by using the CLI or Web UI (By default, 
telnet is disabled.). 

Max sessions have been 
reached

Maximum allowed sessions is 8 concurrent users connected to a switch. Verify 
that the threshold has not been reached.

Primary LAN is not 
receiving Telnet or SSH 
traffic

Verify that Telnet and SSH traffic is allowed on the primary VLAN. 

All else...

Contact Motorola Solutions Support.

Possible Problem

Suggestions to Correct

Bad connection between 
switch and console 
system

Verify the line between the switch and the host computer is functioning 
normally.

Slow transmission of 
data packets

Verify the data packets are being sent to and from the switch using a 
sniffer tool.

Access ports may try to 
adopt while country code 
is not set

Set the country name for the switch, which is set to “none” by default. 

Packet storm

Check Syslog for any type of a packet storm.

Overburdened with a 
large number of Access 
Ports

With large numbers of Access Ports, changing the configuration quickly 
may cause the switch to not refresh properly, at least immediately 
following configuration.
