Hello,
I'm not a network engineer and I'm trying to configure a m1000e with it's MXL switch.
I succeed in configuring the management network for cmc and idrac.
But I'm lost when I try to start the network for a blade...
What I did :
- The blade should be in the VLAN 8 of my local network -> I Create a vlan 8 on the MXL and assigned it to a port :
Dell#sho running-config interface vlan 8
!
interface Vlan 8
name vlan server
no ip address
tagged TenGigabitEthernet 0/41
no shutdown
Dell#
Dell#sho running-config interface te 0/41
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/41
no ip address
switchport
spanning-tree rstp edge-port bpduguard shutdown-on-violation
no shutdown
Dell#
- I connected the Te 0 /41 to a port configured in trunk of a cisco switch of my local network
- I saw the connection :
Dell#sho interfaces status
Port Description Status Speed Duplex Vlan
[...]
Te 0/41 Up 1000 Mbit Full 8
But when I tried to install a system on a blade it can't reach a network.
I 'am very far to be a network engineer ! On my cisco switches I use VTP so I'm not very clear about the vlan creation on the MXL. I could make mistakes (for example: should I define an IP for that vlan ?)
thanks for your help.
