===== Initial Configuration =====

:!: You can use a Cisco console cable and the CLI is very much like Cisco IOS.

:!: Connect to the serial console: 9600,N,8,1

Use the Getting Started Guide listed above.

Set the 'enable' password:

<file>
configure
enable password xxxxx
</file>

To enable SSH and web console, enter the following commands:

<file>
enable
configure
username xxx password xxx privilege 15
crypto key generate rsa
crypto key generate dsa
ip ssh server
</file>

To disable telnet, enter:

<file>
ip telnet server disable
</file>

To enable HTTPS, enter the following commands:

FIXME Untested

<file>
crypto certificate 1 generate key
ip https certificate 1
ip http secure-server
</file>

To disable HTTP:

<file>
no ip http server
</file>

<file>
exit
</file>

After verifying connectivity via SSH or HTTPS, save the configuration by entering:

<file>
copy running-config startup-config
</file>

==== CLI Basics ====

<file>
enable
configure
show running-config
copy startup-config backup-config
copy running-config startup-config
</file>

==== Out-of-Band (OOB) Management Interface ====

<file>
enable
configure

interface out-of-band
ip address <ip_address> <subnet_mask> [gateway_ip]
CTRL + Z

show ip interface out-of-band
</file>

===== Enable Jumbo Frames =====

Access ports:

<file>
Switch1> enable
Switch1# configure
Switch1(config)# interface range ethernet all
Switch1(config-if-ch1)# mtu 9216
Switch1(config-if-ch1)# exit
Switch1(config)# exit
</file>

Trunk ports:

FIXME

<file>
Switch1> enable
Switch1# configure
Switch1(config)# interface port-channel 1
Switch1(config-if-ch1)# mtu 9216
</file>

===== Create VLANs =====

:!: Ranges may be specified like:

<file>
interface range te1/0/2,te1/0/4,te1/0/6,te1/0/8,te1/0/10,te1/0/12,te1/0/16-20
</file>

Display current VLAN information:

<file>
top_switch> enable
top_switch # show vlan
</file>

Set the CLI to configuration mode and define VLAN:

<file>
top_switch # configure
top_switch(config)# vlan database
top_switch(config-vlan)# vlan 101-102, 310
top_switch(config-vlan)# exit
</file>

Setting the port to an access VLAN port in VLAN 101.

  * Ethernet traffic on this port will be untagged
  * All the traffic will be in VLAN 101
  * ''GVRP enable'' sets the port to dynamically register and de-register VLAN membership information with the MAC networking switches attached to the same segment

<file>
top_switch(config)# interface Ethernet 1/xg1
top_switch(config)# switchport access vlan 101
top_switch(config-if-1/xg1)# gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if-1/xg1)# exit
</file>

Setting the port to an access VLAN port in VLAN 102.

  * Ethernet traffic on this port will be untagged
  * All the traffic will be in VLAN 102

<file>
top_switch(config)# interface Ethernet 1/xg2
top_switch(config-if-1/xg2)# switchport access vlan 102
top_switch(config-if-1/xg2)# gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if-1/xg2)# exit
</file>

Setting the port to an access VLAN port in VLAN 310.

  * Ethernet traffic on this port will be untagged
  * All the traffic will be in VLAN 310:

<file>
top_switch(config)# interface range Ethernet 1/xg3-1/xg16
top_switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 310
top_switch(config-if)# gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if)# exit
</file>

To set the port type to an 802.1Q VLAN (to allow multiple tagged VLANs), use the ''switchport mode general'' command.

  * Remove the port membership from VLAN 1
    * All ports are in VLAN 1 by default)
    * Using ''switchport mode general allowed vlan remove 1'' command

<file>
top_switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/xg20
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# switchport mode general
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# switchport general allowed vlan add 101,102-310
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# switchport general allowed vlan remove vlan 1
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# exit
top_switch(config)# gvrp enable
top_switch(config)# end
</file>

Display interface status:

<file>
top_switch# show interfaces switchport ethernet 1/xg1
top_switch# show interfaces switchport ethernet 1/xg2
top_switch# show interfaces switchport ethernet 1/xg20
top_switch# show vlan
</file>

Remove ports from the VLANS and disable gvrp:

<file>
top_switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/xg20
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# switchport general allowed vlan remove 101-102,310
top_switch(config-if-1/xg20)# no gvrp enable
top_switch(config)# exit
top_switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/xg1
top_switch(config-if-1/xg1)# switchport access vlan 1
top_switch(config-if-1/xg1)# no gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if-1/xg1)# exit
top_switch(config)# interface Ethernet 1/xg2
top_switch(config-if-1/xg2)# switchport access vlan 1
top_switch(config-if-1/xg2)# no gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if-1/xg2)# exit
top_switch(config)# interface range ethernet 1/xg3-1/xg16
top_switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 1
top_switch(config-if)# no gvrp enable
top_switch(config-if)# exit
top_switch(config)# vlan database
top_switch(config-vlan)# no vlan 101-102,310
top_switch(config-vlan)# end
top_switch(config)# no gvrp enable
top_switch(config)# exit
top_switch(config)# show vlan
</file>

===== Link Aggregation (Bonding) =====

  - **Configure the switch** to enable LACP
  - **Configure the client**/host for LACP

==== Create Dynamic LACP LAG ====

PowerConnect Switch:

<file>
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)# interface range te1/0/1-2
console(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode active
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)#
</file>
