• PowerConnect 6200 series interoperability with 3Com Switch 5500.

  Hi all

  We offer to our customer Dell PowerConnect 6224 and 6248 as they are expanding their network.

  Their existing network is 3Com Switch 5500 and the main switch is 5500G - EI. Of course, on their network, they have mutiple VLAN and switch 5500G - EI core will make the VIRTUAL LAN routing.

  I would like to know, is it questions about interoperability between 3Com Switch 5500 and Dell PowerConnect 6200 Series, especially on the VLAN routing?

  Know your opinion.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Syed.

  I'm not aware of any questions that you would see with the use of these switches together. On switches 62xx you set them VLAN, and then set the connection of 3Com in general or Trunk mode, allowing the VLANS on the connection.

  Create a VLAN

  Console (config) # vlan database

  VLAN console(config-VLAN) # 2

  VLAN console(config-VLAN) # 3

  VLAN console(config-VLAN) # 4

  output console(config-VLAN) #.

  Configure the interface in Trunk mode and allow for VLAN through it.

  console switchport mode trunk #.

  console # permit trunk switchport vlan add 2,3,4 tag

  You may need to set a static route on the 62xx switch so the traffic on the next hop.

  Console (config) # ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.0.2

  Here are a few good white papers to look over. Not all of them concern the 62xx switch, but the information is always good.

• PowerConnect 6200 ACL does not seem to work

  Hello

  I have a total of four 6248 s two groups at different locations that are configured with VRRP + OSPF.  I tried to set up a simple ACL on either a VLAN to allow a portion of the traffic and block everything else, but I can't make it work.  I have tried many combinations to try to get this working, but so far without success.  It's just a simple ACL, which should allow the web/http traffic on the 10.1.30.100 server and blocks everything else.

  The only type of ACE that seem to work are either a "deny ip any any" or "permit ip any any" If you try an ACE with a destination host and subnet mask 0.0.0.0 it's just all this blocking.  Has anyone else had problems of the ACL or is it just my incompetence in preventing me from getting the 6200 ACL work properly?  I didn't have this problem, get the ACL list to work on our Cisco 2811 routers, just at the moment where I tried on the PC6248s.

  1. config
  2. int vlan 720
  3. no ip-group vlan720-in in access
  4. output
  5. No list of access-vlan720-en
  6. access-list vlan720-in permit tcp any 10.1.30.100 0.0.0.0 eq 80
  7. int vlan 720
  8. IP access-group vlan720-in in
  9. output
  10. output
  11. copy, run start
  12. There

  Just an update on this issue.  I worked with Dell to determine why the ACL does not seem to work.  We discovered that the 6200 apply ACL to the traffic as a VLAN ACL Cisco card as opposed to a router ACL entry.  This causes the ACL to apply to not only routed or transferred but also traffic switched in the same VLAN.

  This has been the source of my problems that my traffic is not limited to a single 6200.  I developed a simple laboratory to check that the 6200 applied traffic switched in the same VLAN ACL.

  First the 6200 has one ACL applied to VLAN5 both PC1 and PC2 are in VLAN 5.  They are both on the same subnet 192.168.5.0/24.  The ACL has a statement of "permit icmp any one" but nothing else.  The PC1 and PC2 are running Windows XP Pro with IIS is installed for the test.  The firewall on both is disabled.

  PC #1 IP: 192.168.5.2/24
  PC #2 IP: 192.168.5.3/24

  [6200]
  |    |
  |    |
  |   [2950T #2] <-->[PC #2]
  |
  |
  [2950T #1] <-->[PC #1]

  In this scenario PC1 and PC2 can ping each other without problem because of the permit icmp any any statement, but you cannot access the IIS site on each of the other computers.

  Dell said that this is normal and if you want communication VLAN VLAN you 'license ip ' to make it work properly.  I also found that traffic back from other VLANs were also denied because of the ACL applied on all of the incoming traffic.  As a solution, the license statement should be included for ALL traffic back to the limited subnet other subnets.  So in this case "ip enable any ".

  I find it a bit annoying that ACL is applied in the form of maps of VLAN not like real incoming router ACL as they are on similar Cisco devices as the 3750.  So there is a work around.  I hope they can solve the problem in a future update, because I really think that the 6200 is a great device.

  Here you can see the difference between VLAN ACLs cards and router entry ACL where they are applied in what concerns local traffic to VLAN.

• Creation of the VLAN between Powerconnect 5548 and F10 s4810...

  In the coming months we will replace our network equipment.  I was able to get their hands on the new gear at the beginning, and if I'm not traditionally a guy from the network, the project has been given to me and I started playing.  The first thing that I wanted to work on was implemented VLANs.  I have configured the switches like the picture below:

  

  When I have IP every PC connected to the same subnet and apply VLAN10 to their respective ports, they aren't to pings within the same stack or between cells.  My basic understanding is that they are, do they not?  Did I miss something in my understanding of VLANS or is there a problem with my configs?  I posted the configs below.

  I would say lets start with one side and obtain communication of work between the two computers on the same stack at RTTMOACCESS01. The port settings for the 1/01 and 2/01 look great both in access mode for VLAN 10. Which IP addresses and subnets you assign to computers?

  5548 to battery power battery connection 10 also appear to not be in a LAG, then we run two connections like that and they aren't in a SHIFT, we create a loop and a single connection will enter a blocking state.

  For the connections between the 5548 and force 10, I suggest to turn them into a GAP. The command should look like this.

  Console > activate

  Console # configure

  Console (config) # (config) # interface tengigabitethernet 1/0/1

  Console (config) # port - 1 automatic mode group

  output console #.

  Console (config) #.

  Do the same for Te2/0/1

  Then we set up this OFFSET to set it up, and I would try to use the trunk instead of general mode mode.

  Console (config) # interface port-channel 1

  console switchport mode trunk #.

  console # permit trunk switchport vlan add 10,20,30,40,50 tag

  The same should be done for the Force switch 10.

  Te0/46.1/46 in a SHIFT

  Te0/47.1/47 in another SHIFT

  Put in the trunk and let the VLANS on the trunk.

  Allows to study these settings and see if we can make any progress.

  Thank you

• Aggregation of links between Powerconnect 7048 battery and battery S55 Force 10

  Hi all

  I'm trying to connect a battery 7048 with a stack of S55 (2 switches in each stack). I would use two ports (one on each switch) each battery to connect to each other. Can someone help me with the configuration of this please? I guess I'd go with LACP in this situation?

  If orders to fill what could be made, it would be much appreciated.

  Thank you, Carl.

  On the 7048, placing the ports in a SHIFT with LACP looks like this:

  Console (config) # interface gigabitethernet 0/1/2

  Console (config-if) active in mode channel-group 1 #.

  Console (config-if) output.

  Console (config) # interface gigabitethernet 0/2/2

  Console (config-if) active in mode channel-group 1 #.

  Console (config-if) output.

  Console (config) # interface port-channel 1

  Console (Config-if-PO1) #.

  And then configure the port channel but you need.

  On the S55, this tech tip article will guide you in the process of creating a GAP.

• PowerConnect 6224: Dell SFP + port supports combine Dell SFP?

  I have a Dell Powerconnect 6224 switch and I installed a Dual Port SFP + Module of adaptation for PowerConnect
  6200 series at bay2 at the rear of the switch. I inserted a transceiver, SFP 1000BASE-LX, wavelength 1310nm 10km Reach in the SFP slot + and the other end is connected to a connector SFP 1gbe. I don't have any link. My question is if Dell SFP ports + supports SFP transceivers or it only supports SFP transceivers +?

  I checked the ports to help an SFP + SFP +, 10GbE, copper Direct Attach cable Twinaxial, and link LEDs are lighting up.

  I believe that the SFP ports + back work with SFP transceivers. Ports before combo will work with SFP transceivers. Another thing to look at is the cable being used. Don't forget that there are specifications that are compatible with transceivers FPS are you wanting to use. A SFP + SFP connection would require that the SFP transceiver + supports a connection of 1 GB.

  Hope this info helps.

• N2048 vs PowerConnect 6248 switch

  Hello

  I would like to ask the professional.

  For the communication of internal servers of our company, what to spend more powerful N2048 or PC6248?

  We would like to use only ports of the team, LAG. No VLAN, no routing. Just "layer 2".

  Thank you.

  Best regards

  MAxim Krol

  Hi, Maxim,.

  If you do not give me layer 2 the N2000 is the newer model. It has several CPU memory 1 GB vs. 256 MB and increased capacity of fabric and a faster transfer rate.

  This blog does a good job of showing the different firewall rules to add. You said that you have already tweaked the firewall some, I would just check the measures taken.

  If there is no antivirus software installed, try a break/disabling it to test and see if it makes a difference.

  I don't see anything on the config which would prevent pings happen.

• VLAN between 2 powerconnect 6224 using XFP modules

  Dear friends,

  I have 2 switches powerconnect 6224 interconnected using optical fiber and XFP ports on the rear panel of the switch.

  There is no configuration of the battery between them.

  The distance between the two switches is 500 metres and they both work correctly when you use the vlan by default (use of the LAN)

  I created a virtual LAN using 2 ports on a firewall and I created the same vlan on the second firewall, but I can't see a VLAN traffic goes to the other.

  Also, I tried to configure the port as trunk but same result.

  The vlan works very well in a single switch, but traffic is not able to flow to the second switch.

  You have an idea why does not?

  Maybe is not posible to have VLANs using xfp connections...

  Any idea would be greatly popular.

  Thanks in advance!

  Rear ports are labeled xg1, 2, 3, 4. So, if the connection is made using the xg1 on a single switch for xg1 on the other switch. Then you enter interface 1/xg1 and make configuration changes.

• Vs LACP LAG between two PowerConnect 5448 s

  Hi all.

  Just got a switch configuration quad for our infrastructure EqualLogic SAN using PowerConnect 5448 s.  One thing I never did before her configuration of aggregation of links.

  If I wanted to set up an aggregate of 4-port connection between two switches, say on ports 1 to 4, and our iSCSI VLANS is 1000, the below will work?

  serial interface ethernet g(1-4)

  channel-group mode 1 on

  interface port-channel 1

  switchport general

  switchport General pvid 1000

  I've seen documentation on how to get the ports-working channels between a 5000 or 6000 switch and a Cisco Catalyst switch, but not just any what docs on how to connect two switches PowerConnect.  The doc of interoperability for Cisco <->Dell seems to want to use LACP on the side of Dell.  I wonder, should I configure and link LACP on the two 5448 aggregate s I have are running?

  Thanks for in advance for any advice or assistance!

• VMotion compatibility between Opteron 6100 (Magny Cours) and Opteron 6200 (Interlagos)

  Anyone know if knew that Opteron 6200 (Interlagos) are compatible with Opteron 6100 (Magny Cours) VMotion?

  VMware used to maintain an up-to-date list of processors with a compatibility matrix, but I didn't see a current copy of this document within a certain time.  The last that I could dig up was 2008, so I ask my question here.

  Also, if anyone knows of a compatibility matrix was updated that they could tell me, that would be helpful.

  Thank you!

  Allen: I can confirm that VMotion works between Opteron 6100 and 6200 if you are using the CVS 'AMD Opteron Genesis 3 (no 3DNow!) '.

• Difference between Dell Powerconnect N4032F and 8132F

  Hello!

  In the last days, the Dell PowerConnect 8100 disappeared from the Dell Web site and now, the M4000 series with the same characteristics are presented.

  It's just a change of name or these devices differ in some way? The M4000 firmwares is usable on 8100 switches in the future?

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Stril

  Dell PowerConnect N4000 switches series both Dell Networking PC8100 series share the same version of the firmware of the image (for example, N4000v6.1.0.1.stk). The Dell Networking N4000 series switches can be stacked with switches Dell Networking PC8100 of the series with any battery necessary for the performance of 6.0.0.8 or later firmware (6.1.0.1). Dell Networking PC8100 switches can support the firmware both 5.x and 6.x versions, but Dell Networking N4000 can support only the 6.0.0.8 and later versions of firmware (6.1.0.1)

  I hope this helps.
