Hi Munir, We are sorry to keep you waiting so long 8-) But just uploaded the single last video in this series. The content is DHCP relay. Really glad you like the series. Next week I'll make sure to create the last video in this series. This will be around link aggregation. Let us know how you're using the videos and/or if you have any questions!!! Hereby direct link to latest uploaded video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zLtFRtkw91A.html
Hi you've presented it very well. I'm a cisco guy and one thing I'm yet to get is how did you define Trunks between switches... does mentioning of Tagged and Untagged automatically define that you gotta use Tagged ports for packet transfers between switches? For example in Cisco we do; Int fa0/1, Switchport mode trunk etc. But here I didn't see you defining such ports. Also what will happen if you only have identical VLANs on two switches (in only two switches scenario) and like to communicate with each other (only between same vlan)?
Excellent question. Technically, there is no reason to switch port mode from access to trunk, as in access you only have a native (untagged) VLAN, where on a 'trunk' port you have one or more tagged VLANs in addition to the native VLAN. The way ArubaOS-S works is that you just add VLANs tagged to a port (or ports tagged to a VLAN) to achieve what you describe. By the way, on ArubaOS-S a Trunk is what Port Channel is on some other switch brands (multiple links bundled for redundancy or increased capacity). So be aware not to confuse the terminology. Special for you, as a switcher to ArubaOS, there is a nice CLI comparison guide at community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Education-Australia-New-Zealand/Latest-CLI-comparison-guide-ArubaOS-Switch-Comware-Cisco-now/gpm-p/291879 that shows ArubaOS - Comware - Cisco equivalent commands next to each other.
