[f-nsp] Help with Stacking FESX448-Prem

[Eric Chen]

Sorry to clarify - #2 is assigning 2 IP to same port. Understand can assign
2 different IPs to 2 dif interfaces

 

Thank you,

Eric

All,

 

A few questions

 

1)      Does anyone have a quick guide on stacking 2 of these?

On Switch A we have 2 VLAN. One is VLAN 2 - for public (ports 1-24) and one
is VLAN 3 - for private (ports 25-48). Uplink to distribution switches are
ports 1 and 2. 

On Switch B we have 2 VLAN. One is VLAN 2 - for public (ports 1-5) and one
is VLAN 3 - for private (ports 6-48) 

 

Port 3 on Switch A is connected to Port 3 on Switch B (both are on VLAN 2).
This works fine. The ports are not tagged and it's  simply routing back to
the public network. 

The issue now is we want to connect the 2 VLAN 3's so that 

 

a)      The IPs follow each other so they're not conflicting (IP follow?)

b)      The 2 VLAN can talk to each other.

 

Our understanding is that we would "TAG" the port on both switches (i.e.
port 48 on both) and this way VLAN 3 on switch B can talk to VLAN 3 on
switch A. Can someone help walk us through the exact configuration?  Also,
what if we want to bind or trunk ports 44-48 for more throughput)

2) The other issue is the switches currently both have public IPs. Is there
a way to assign the switch both a public AND a private IP?

 

3) Lastly on Switch A VLAN 2 how do we assign the IPs such that VLAN 2 on
Switch B does not end up taking the same IPs? Do we bind different ranges?
(not sure how that's done) since it seems that adding an IP address to an
interface will only assign 1 IP? How do we either make sure that a finite
range is assigned to each switch or add a POOL to the entire combined VLAN 2
on both switches

 

Thank you all for the help in advance.

 

Best,

Eric
