Deploying the Dell PowerConnect 8100 with the Cisco Catalyst

Run the commands below on the Dell PowerConnect 8100 switch to create a management VLAN, which allows in-band management to the switch.

console#configure

console(config)#username admin1 password goodpa55 privilege 15 console(config)#vlan 50

console(config-vlan)#exitconsole(config)#interface vlan 50 console(config-if-vlan50)#ip address 5.5.5.5 /24 console(config-if-vlan50)#exitconsole(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/0/23 console(config-if-Te1/0/23)#switchport mode trunk console(config-if-Te1/0/23)#exitconsole(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1/1 console(config-if-Te1/1/1)#switchport general allowed vlan add 50 console(config-if-Te1/1/1)#switchport general pvid 50 console(config-if-Te1/1/1)#switchport mode general

Running these commands opens a telnet session into the Dell PowerConnect 8100 switch through port 1/1/1 to management VLAN 50, using the username and password that were entered. In addition, port

1/0/23 is now ready to be connected to the Cisco Catalyst. Use the commands in the next section to configure the Cisco Catalyst switch.

While it may be tempting to add a “switchport trunk native vlan 50” line to the port 1/0/23 configuration, this command will block control traffic on a Cisco Catalyst 6500, although this command works between two 8100 switches, as well as between an 8100 and a Cisco Catalyst 3750. However, native VLANs work differently on the Cisco Catalyst 6500; it is recommended that the Native and SVI VLANs on the Cisco 6500 never be the same. If the port on the PowerConnect 8100 contains this line in the configuration, and a ping is not going through to the Cisco Catalyst 6500, set the option back to the default with the command: “switchport trunk native vlan 1”.

Cisco Catalyst CLI

Run the commands below on the Cisco Catalyst switch to create an SVI, which allows in-band management to the switch.

cat6504E_1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. cat6504E_1(config)#interface vlan 50 cat6504E_1(config-if)#ip address 5.5.5.7 255.255.255.0 cat6504E_1(config-if)#exit

cat6504E_1(config)#vlan 50
