Dell 6224 Config to Cisco Catalyst 3850 Config

Hi All

I'm hoping you wonderful people can help me. I have a stacked pair of Dell 6224 PowerConnect switches. At Present these switches are being used as core switches and I've been asked to upgrade these to Cisco switches.

We have purchased two 3850 switches with the stacking kit, on initial configuration the Cisco's are stacked and have recognised each other.

The issue I am having is that I have attempted to map across most of the config to a Cisco command set. Unfortunately its not worked and I had to rollback.

What I am after is just to have a direct mapping and then its just a case of an unplug from port 1 on the Dell and plug into Port 1 on the Cisco etc....

The Dell config is as follows:

Thats great, I will make an attempt at re-mapping all the config.

Just a query on some of the syntax, what do these commands mean?

vlan routing 20 1
vlan routing 30 2
vlan routing 2 3
vlan routing 1 4

I assume this is intervlan routing or some sort of priority?

ASKER

Also, apologies for the ignorance, what are Channel Groups?

Just a query on some of the syntax, what do these commands mean?

According to the documentation, this enables routing for a VLAN. With Cisco, routing is enabled globally so it's not required.

Also, apologies for the ignorance, what are Channel Groups?

Channel-groups are where multiple physical links are "grouped" or aggregated together to create a single, faster link. On your Dell, 1/23 and 2/23 are aggregated to create a 2gb link.

I did some research on the Spanning-Tree protocol stuff. What you are saying makes sense, it is a multi brand environment. There is a HP ProCurve and a set of Dell switches in the mix.

How do I enable the specific version of Spanning Tree that you have mentioned about?

Thanks for all the help.

Don Johnston

There are variables which need to be considered such as the region name, which VLANs are in which instance, etc., but this should get you there.

How to configure MSTP

goldied

ASKER

Hi Don

I don't really understand the MST stuff.

Having said that, the uplink to the additional switch for clients to connect (patch ports) is on a switchport access on vlan 2, all communication between other sites goes through an MPLS router so I think this should do the trick without the MST.

I'll be giving this a go one evening this week. If you could take a quick browse over my config I'd greatly appreciate it.

The // comments are just incase I need the syntax, I intend to run this is manually one section at a time.

Thanks for your help Don, My config is below:

enable

//spanning-tree mst configuration
//instance 1 vlan 1-50
//name region1
//revision 1
//show pending
//exit
//spanning-tree mode mst
//end

FYI, If you ever have any Citrix related problems please drop me a message, that is where my strength lies.

Don Johnston

When posting configs, please use the code feature. It makes it easier to read.

Before applying this,

interface gigabitethernet 0/0
 ip address 10.5.93.240 255.255.255.0 
 exit

Open in new window

you'll need to make the interface a layer-3 interface

interface gigabitethernet 0/0
 no switchport
 ip address 10.5.93.240 255.255.255.0
 exit

Hi Don

So close. I swapped the switches this evening. When I rebooted all my VMWare servers it all worked and I could ping all my servers.

The downside was that the default gateway for my machines is 10.0.94.254 (This is the IP for VLAN1), and it didn't seem to allow for an internet connection?

The Firewall is 10.0.93.253 which I could see also , its so much more closer than before.

Am I missing something here?

Also: The No Switchport command did not work.

Don Johnston

Do you have a default route? Should be:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.93.253

"no switchport" didn't work??? If this is a Cisco 3850 then it should accept the command. Did you apply it to the correct physical interface?

Hi Don

Yes I do have the default route. I'll post the config again below:

Its definitely a Cisco 3850.

This is part of a stack. There is no gig 0/0 interface. You apply the commands to whatever interface you want to assign an IP address.

Can the hosts ping 10.0.93.254?

Can the switch ping 10.0.93.253?

The hosts cannot ping .254 I didn't try the switch .253 , I will possibly be taking the whole lot down at the weekend to tackle this. I have to get agreement with the business to do so.

There is a gigabitethernet 0/0 , it's on the back of the first switch. I know it's there because if I wire up my laptop to it , it states it's up and if I enable ssh I can manage it on that port. Eventually ill want to manage it through my management vlan 30. I'm just keen to get them working now. It's close.

Don Johnston

I thought you were talking about data traffic.

Gig 0/0 is a layer 3 management interface. It is only used to manage the switch. Since it's Layer-3 only, there is no option to make it layer-2.

Hi Don

Do you have any thoughts on the gateway or do you just think it should work with the above config?

The Management interface can stay where it is, you gave me the above code example so I was just making you aware it doesn't work as expected.

I appreciate your help, thank you.

Don Johnston

What is the IP address of the host that you are testing from?
Can the host ping its default gateway?
Can the switch ping 10.0.93.253?

Hi Don

Let me get all the details specifically and sense check it all before I frustrate you with insufficient information.

I'll answer these question probably after this weekend.

Thanks Don, the issue turned out to be the config on the switch port of the up link to the mpls. Took a while to nail it down but all sorted now. 1/0/13 had a native vlan of 20 but actually it just needed to be a plain trunk. The mpls routes back into the network for internal ranges, this wasn't happening. Thanks for all your help though.
