• Connect to Force10 MXL N4032 using cables QSFP + DA 40 G

  Hello

  I'm trying to connect a N4032 switch to a switch chassis Force10 MXL using QSFP + modules and a DA 40 G cable. Now, the problem I have is that when I plug the cable 40G QSFP DA I don't have a link, both switches show that the QSFP + optical has been inserted, and that the perspective is supported on two models of switches.

  The MXL is on the firmware 9.8.0.0 and the N4032 on 6.2.1.6.

  QSFP map show slot on the show N4032 command:

  As you can see that switch captures yet the speed of the optics. Now if I take the same cable and plug it between the 2 x N4032 switches - ports immediately show a link.

  Newspapers of the MXL show optics QSFP Fo0/33, it shows the status of the admin of the ports as upward, but the State of the interface is down. Now if I take the same cable of DA and plug it between the 2 MXL in the chassis, the interface state changes until almost immediately. The two MXL is configured in a VLT, but I tried to get the link to the top with the VLT and without the VLT, does anyway.

  This shows that cables of DA are fully functional, the ports I plug are functional - even when one end of the cable plugged into the N4032 and the other end in the MXL Force10, the link is not started.

  I have the show out of all 4 switches, if necessary technical support.

  Thank you

  Dave

  This problem has been resolved with the help of Technical Support.

  It was a mismatch of negotiation between switches.

  The fix has been add to the config of the port on the Force10 MXL:

  I don't think there is a command to see the serial number. You will probably need to get out the module and look for a sticker with the serial number.

• Reference Dell M1000e + aggregator MI/O port mapping

  Hi all

  I intend to install a new chassis Dell M1000e with Dell M/o aggregator. During the time of solution, I have a few questions about correspondences between the physical uplink with NDC blade ports ports. A Please check the config below and specify my queries?

  My hardware:

  • 1 x Dell M1000e
  • 2 x M i/o aggregator (A1 & A2)
  • 16 x M630 Blade (Qlogic 57840 S ANC four ports card)

  Reference DELL M/o aggregator:

  (reserved for Future use) module QSFP + 2 ports (Port No1:33 - 36 & No2:37 Port-40)

  I want to use these two modules for my blades 4-port Quad and the confusion I had, how to associate these 16 ports (8 ports of each module) to the server blade and the amount of bandwidth I will get by blade with redundancy.

  Module 4-port SFP + 10 GbE (Flexi-O of the Bay) (Port No.: 41-48)

  Module 4-port 2/4/8 Gb FC FlexIO (Flexi Bay 1) (Port No.: 49-56)

  FYI - I would like to install ESXi 6.0 on all blades

  Thank you!!

  Oriented server ports are configured automatically as part of the aggregation of links groups if the server is configured for the LACP Protocol. Static GAL is not supported.

  You will use the segregation network VLAN. A VLAN for network traffic and the other for the CF. Here are the commands to configure interfaces for different VLANS.

  Unidentified:

  Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

  Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # vlan unidentified 4

  Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

  Tag:

  Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

  The tag vlan Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # 4

  Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

  Traffic from servers will follow the path of the VLAN. For example, if an internal server, facing the port is set to VLAN 4, that traffic will be transmitted on the uplink port which has also set to VLAN 4.

  By default, all external ports are placed in a single whole LAG. However, you can change the configuration to support several shifts of uplink. Page 159 of guys configuration takes you step by step on setting up several shifts of uplink.

  The aggregator automatically configures to match the FCoE parameters used in the switches to which it connects through its uplink ports. FIP snooping is automatically configured on an aggregator. Automatically configured port channel (LAG 128) works CWF port mode. See page 86 for more information and examples of config.

  For redundancy, you could stack the units together. 241 page details the process of stacking.

  Page 54 of 102 of the Guide blade IO has one other diagram that details more internal server port mapping for each blade.

• SAN upgrade passes to 10 Gbit

  Hello

  We rotated the EqualLogic 6100 in production for 2 years now and I am considering the most recent paintings 10 Gbit. At the moment we are currently using two Juniper ex4200 switches in two of our server rooms, and they seem to be good.

  I am looking for 48 switches copper port that do 10 GB and it does not seem be much there other than the strength of 10 S4820T.

  If we bought those, would it be possible to swap the junipers and run tables 1 GB because they are at different sides of the bays in 10 GB (storage pool) and servers?

  We could potentially create a lacp between junipers and these trunk (as shown in one of the best practical guides), but we are pretty pushed for space in our basket of networking.

  I thought we would stack the switches using 3 ports on each S4820T qsfp, would that be a bottleneck because of the ports being 10 GB and there are only 120 GB between switches?

  The other qsfp ports would use with spf + optical transceivers for the performance of replication between our two server rooms traffic.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Force 10 is a big switch.  There are also 10 GbE in the line to be able to connect as well.  Or the other approach works. Replace the existing, or more lag to a new stack for 10GbE.

  Much depends on when and how you plan to upgrade to the servers of 10GbE network adapters.  What it be prevent is 10GbE server NIC goes to the bays of GbE.

  Have you contacted your sales representative?   They can bring in some network people to review what you have now and help you move forward.

  Kind regards

• How to connect two network switches Force10 S4810P

  Hello world

  We just bought two S4810P Force10 network switches and we want to install on two adjacent brackets. They will be used to interconnect computing and NAS storage, installed in two baskets serving mainly local connections.

  We intend to use ports QSFP + to connect the two switches, and I have two questions.

  1. hardware configuration: what are the best transceivers and cables to use in this case?

  2. configuration of the software: should we use stacking or virtual link trunking? the information I've read so far does not give me a definitive answer.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help!

  The server room is already has some inside wiring? If so it be a transceiver that will percolate pre-existing cables. There are also some direct attach cables ranging from 0.5 m to 50 m. Here is an example of a cable direct attach: http://dell.to/23huDl7

  the best course of action would be to contact your sales representative and let them know what your needs are. They can get you city for right connection hardware.

  the VLT and stack the two have the same goal of redundancy, but go about it in different methods with different warnings warning for both. In both scenarios, the redundancy is dependent on each device connection linking the two switches. If you do not do this, then it may be better to let the independent switches. Here is a good blog that compares the VLT and stacking.

• What switch do you recommend

  Hello

  Brief description of our environment...

  x 1 poweredge R720 with x 4 network ports for iSCSI
  x 2 poweregde R710 with x 4 network ports for iSCSI
  x 1 poweregde R610 with x 2 network ports for iSCSI

  x 2 PS6100E EQL
  x 2 PS4100E EQL
  x 2 PS6000 EQL
  X 4 PS5000 EQL

  Everything is distributed evenly between two floors of the building by using SyncRep and regular replication on the EQL boxes and using a VMware HA and DRS cluster on hosts.
  Physically separate networks for iSCSI network and production.

  We use 5448 powerconnect on the iSCSI network switches. One PC5448 for each floor and they are connected with x 4 fiber LACP trunk link.

  I know that these switches have to be replaced, but what? PC6248, PC7048 or Force10? Perhaps even another manufacturer? If so which model? The price IS a decisive factor, I don't have the budget for expensive stuff

  Check the support matrix Equallogic to get an idea of what switches are validated and supported / recommended. It is not limited only the Dell switches (Cisco, Juniper and Brocade options listed there).

  First, you'll want to upgrade to double switches on each floor and LACP together. You can stack them, but this has the drawback that if ever you want to / need to upgrade the firmware of the switch in one or both of the rooms, you'll need 100% service interruptions in this room.

  In my next part I'll stick to switches Dell since it is a Dell message board.

  I would skip the PC6200 series unless your budget can not install a switch better. The 6200 is a decent switch, but it's on its way out (this can be seen by the fact that Dell has not updated the firmware on the switch since the 3.3 series (all 7 k and higher switches are now on a firmware 5.x).) The Force10 S25 series is better than this PC7024 a switch, but if you plan to switch to 10 GB at some point, you may consider a pair of 8132 s PowerConnect in each room. The non - F version uses RJ45 ports that can make 1Gbit and 10 GB, then you can use to start just the current units of EQL, but new units could be 10Gbit units. You want to get the QSFP + optional modules for each switch and 2 wires for each pair, so you can use these 2 40Gbit LACP ports switches set in each room.

  If you want to use a LACP between the 2 rooms consisting of two switches, you have a more difficult choice to make; stack the switches (with the disadvantage that I mentioned above), or upgrade to Force10 S4820s that these offer the possibility to make a channel of port on 2 non-Stack switches (PowerConnect firmware does not offer this).

  Cisco and Brocade offer similar characteristics (to execute a LACP on 2 switches non-Stack), but I do not know what exact firmware and/or switches that would offer.

• Networking M1000e

  We ordered a M1000e chassis. We use Dell Force10 MXL blade switches (2) for networking. My question is that the switch MXL comes with 2 ports QSPF +. We also ordered (1) of these (Module 10GbE SFP +, 4 ports, Hot Swappable, 4 x SFP + ports (optical or direct attach cables needed) (331-8187)). WE have 1 but we want redundancy. My question is can I use a cable QSFP + who has a connection to 40 GB on the end of switch MXL and use 1 or 2 of the 10 GB SFP + cables on the other end in my Cisco switch? WE have not enough ports 10 Gbit/s at the moment to use all 4. I don't know if we need to use all 4 cables of 10 Gbps or can use 1 or 2 and develop in all 4? We think just go back the 331-8187 and using the drop cable.

  Using an extension cable for the connection of the switch will work fine. With cable bypass, you are not required to run all the lines on the same unit, or use them all at the same time. Each of the four 10 GB cables will act as a single port.

  Page 406 of the configuration guide details how to divide the QSFP port in ports SFP +.

• impact of connectivity of disabling DCB on N4064f

  Hello. We use N4064f as ToR switches. We have connected additional without EQL to the network and the new EQLs are complaining of DCB misconfiguration on the switches. We don't use of DCB, as well as literature, I read, you must disable DCB on switches.

  I found the commands to do this in the configuration of switch guide (why can't do you it from the GUI?), my question is if this will have an impact on connectivity.

  Both N4064f switches are not stacked, but connected using the QSFP ports ISL (static gal). RSTP is also configured.

  Our network guys said there could be up to 2 minute break, which is not true, I hope.

  Someone who can confirm?

  If we do not disable DCB on switches, there should be no effect on the functionality of EQLs, right? (with the exception of the warning in the Group Manager)

  We did a quick laboratory test and doesn't see any loss of network DCB to disable. If you do not see it yet, this is a good document.

• N2K-C2232TM-10GE

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a GE copper switch 24-port 10. After any time, I just N2K-C2232TM-10GE. However, this switch is extensor of fabric, and it is used with the Nexus 5 K series switches.

  My question is

  Can I use this standalone Nexus 2 K like other is L2?

  Thank you

  Kind regards.

  24-port copper 10 GigE is the type of a command. Most of the people who need 10Gig don't hesitate to go to a somewhat larger switch. Your best options are probably the witch "N3K-C3064TQ-10GT" has 48 ports of 10GbaseT and 4 ports QSFP or the "N5K-C5596T-FA" that comes with 32 ports or 10GbaseT and 16-port SFP +, it has also 3 expansion slots and can extensor of fabric of support if you think that you can at a given time.

• Configuring the Cisco UCS 5108 ports

  Hi all

  I'm new in the world of the Cisco UCS server and am setting up Cisco UCS 5108 blade server. The server has two Cisco UCS 6324 interconnections fabric I did the initial Setup on and I try to configure the ports for the blades. Looking through the various articles and tutorials after setting global policies, I see the whole world establishment of uplink and server ports. What I read the uplink ports are plugged directly into the switches (I work with two cisco nexus switches), and server ports are used to connect to the chassis.

  I wonder once the configured ports server what exactly are supposed to connect to? I assumed they would also connect to the switch nexus with the uplink ports. However, every time I set up the server ports and plug them in, the switch doesn't seem to have flooded and we lose all connectivity. If I unplug, the connection is restored almost immediately.

  The current configuration, that I work with is two ports uplink on each fabric interconnect (4 2 total in each switch of nexus), two server ports on each (4 2 total, in every nexus switch). The only other element connected to the nexus switches is a SAINT who will be configured as a boot and storage of the UCS 5108.

  Looks like you have a Mini UCS (6324), with 4-port 10 GB (each FI/IOM) with port QSFP 40 GB that can provide network connectivity linking rising, or if configured as a server port, could be used to connect to a server in a rack compatible Cisco UCS, or connect to a 5108 additional with IOM 2204XP chassis.  The blades installed in your initial 5108 chassis 6324 FI/IOM of housing have internal connectivity to the FIs / IOM without the need to configure ports 'server'...

  Please take a look at some of the visuals in the datasheet below.

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/UCS-6300-series-fabric-interconnects/datasheet-C78-732207.html

  Unified ports can also be configured as a FC ports for connectivity of FC switch upstream or directly related to CF Storage processors.

  After having watched the datasheet, let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll try to address them.

  You'll not need actually configure ports such as ports 'server' unless you connect servers in a rack.

  Please configure any ethernet SFP type connected to your switches nexus upstream as 'network' uplinks.  I guess that you don't plan on a disjoint config layer 2 (where each FI has several sets of uplinks will different devices upstream, or the same device with different VLANS allowed on each link).    If you are, we can have a separate thread about how you need to configure that.

  Thank you
