Hello
I'm a student and configure switches is something new to me. I have recently bought 2 powerconnects 6224 (not new) and updated them with the latest firmware. I would like to configure them to set up an "rack-configuration" at home. To simulate a rack in a datacenter @ home.
Equipment that i have:
1 uplink to internet
2 powerconnect 6224 (NO STACK - budget)
1 Storage server with Open-E
2 xen-servers
I'm trying to make multiple vlans but i'm not quite sure if that's the correct way.
Vlan 1: management (in future available with VPN from over the internet if possible?)
Vlan 2: iSCSI traffic
Vlan 3: Network Traffic
Vlan 4: Internet traffic to the Xen-Servers
Can someone please help me start for this setup? For me it would be a great lesson to teach much more about networking and vlans.
Thnx in advance
