Hey Grace & Peace to you and your family! Awesome video this week. Yes, configuring tagging on a Cisco switch is similar to the way you do it on extreme it just depends on if you're configuring a layer 2 or 3 switch. Cisco switches could support switchport trunk encapsulation isl or switchport trunk encapsulation dot1Q, but newer switches do not need the switchport trunk encapsulation command because they only support the 802.1Q trunking. I really enjoyed this one brother! Well as usual, be well, be safe and God Bless you! I'm praying for you and all and thank you for your continued prayers! I'm getting better and stronger everyday beacuse of Gods Grace, Love and Mercy and intercession prayers! Thank you!🙏🏽
I no longer use LACP (with SMLT) on my Top of Rack switches. My server tech prefers to the OS teaming for his resilience. I’ve done testing no real difference in failover time. Saves me doing the LACP config.
This vendor is doing that with one of their servers. Two of the others, he insists, need static LACP connections. I knew how to do that on the old C5 switches but still a voyage of discovery for the VSP's. God bless!
My network is pure Extreme with a mixture of VOSS and XOS, (Emergency Service) I'm slightly different in that all servers have two VSP7254TXQs (just about to swap them out) per rack and until recently stopped LACP and SMLT configs per service across them. But @paulypaul111, i think you can change a LACP config ports, you just have to disable LACP on that port first. (i'll check in the morning) Great channel, keep the blogs coming.
That is just the way LACP works on VSP/VOSS/FabricEngine It is static. Once you set the ports you can’t change it. But you are missing some global LACP config. You need to setup an LACP MAC address.
Thanks for that. I'm supposed to have a call with GTAC tomorrow to see what I'm missing. I'm still pretty new to VSP. So you're saying that VSP use a static form of LACP? Static LACP always seemed like a misnomer because it isn't static really. The server vendor insisted they needed static LACP set up on the switches and I was and still am uncertain how to provide that. God bless!
Busted! I'm more concerned with revealing internal IP addresses, or external for that matter. But even LinkedIn will tell you where I work. That one is more personal privacy concern. God bless!
