The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to VLANs on a Dell PowerConnect 2708 switch

Asked by Kaptain1 in Network Switches & Hubs, Network Routers, Networking Hardware Firewalls

Hi Experts!

I got a Dell PowerConnect 2708 switch w/ 8 gigabit ports. My goal is to split 1 LAN into 2 using VLANS for performance and security reasons - so that hosts on both VLANS can access the Internet/gateway, but can't see nor access each other.

I can log-in to the Dell GUI web interface, but after spending about 2 hours trying and reading the manual, I wasn't able to accomplish what I want.

Here's the GUI options:

VLAN membership page - lets you select/create VLANS, and select which Interaces "Tag egress packets", or "Untag egress packets", there's also a "blank" option - which is "not a member".

=====================

VLAN Port Settings:
Lets you select interfaces individually and configure options for them (8 ports), lets you set PVID (1-4095)
Frame Type - (Adming All, or Admit Tag Only)
Ingress Filtering - (Enable, or Disable)

LAG Group (1-5 values) - I believe this is for making several links into 1 for balance load and redundancy. I'm not interested in this one...

========================

LAG Membership
Ports 1-8 (can add interfaces into a membership...)

=======================

Then there're CoS and DSCP Settings. Not sure what these are for.


Please advise.

I'm kinda sad because I just completed 3rd CCNA course (Switching) and can do VLANS on a Cisco switch, but this Dell one which supposed to be easier to use give me trouble! :(

Thanks in advance!
