Hello, I would like to set up a simple VLAN to isolate SAN iSCSI traffic on my PowerConnect 5524 from the rest of my network. I am using the OpenManage Switch Administrator. I want to make absolutely sure I am doing it right since these are business critical production systems. Using the 802.1q, I understand that I need to:
- Create a VLAN: I have Created VLAN 2 in Switching/VLAN/VLAN Membership
- Assign PVID (since the MD3200i nor the Hyper-V hosts are not VLAN aware, right?): I don’t understand the purpose of the settings at Switching/VLAN/Port Settings. Do I change Port VLAN Mode to General? Keep Reserve VLAN to None? Change PVID to 2?
- Assign membership to the port – containing in Switching/VLAN/Port settings in VLAN List add 2 as Untagged. Do I Admit All or does it matter? Do I Disable Ingress Filtering?
Am I missing anything else, or is there anything else I need to consider?
Thank you for any answers and suggestions you can give,
Ken
