Q: I am trying to trunk SBM-GEM-001 Blade switch to a Cisco switch so that all VLANs can pass over the trunk between the two switches. Below I have pasted the Cisco port config. G1/0/1 and G2/0/1 are configured as trunked and both are members of the Port-channel10.
interface Port-channel10
switchport mode trunk
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active
end
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active
end
Do you have a guide for configuring the Blade switch to make this work?
Please follow the following steps to configure your switches:
- Create a VLAN to include the trunking ports on the SBM-GEM-001 switch. These ports should be configured as the tagged ports.
- If there is only one VLAN on a Blade server, configure the PVID corresponding to the VLAN for port that connects to the Blade. This port should be configured as untagged. If there are more than one VLAN, please set the port to tagged, and create the individual VLAN to include this Blade port and all the trunking ports. Leave the PVID to 1.
- Go to Trunking page. Create a Trunk group with these trunking ports as the group members.
Note that, the SBM-GEM-001 switch only supports the static Link Aggregation. The port-channel on Cisco switch should be configured as mode ON (i.e. channel-group 10 mode on), instead of mode ACTIVE.
