Connect a Dell 6224 and a Dell 6248 via LAG

I have 2 new switches we need to setup. The 6224 switch with (VLAN10) on 10.10.10.0 network and 6248 switch with (VLAN11) 10.10.11.0 network. I want to use 2 ports on each to LAG the switches together, ports 23 & 24 to 47 & 48.

The 6224 will have port 1 to the router as a trunk port.

I want to leave all ports on both switches on VLAN 1 for management

What CLI commands will accomplish this?

I am new to the Dell 6200 series.

Thanks

To create a LAG the basic commands would look similar to this.

Creating LAGs – Static Two-port LAG

console> enable

console# configure

console(config)# interface range ethernet 1/g1-2

console(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode on

console(config-if)# exit

console(config)#

Creating LAGs – Dynamic LACP LAG

console> enable

console# configure

console(config)# interface range ethernet g1-2

console(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode auto

console(config-if)# exit

console(config)#

There is also this white page that walks us through Link aggregation on the 62xx switch.

www.dell.com/.../pwcnt_link_aggregation.pdf

PowerConnect 62xx series switches, you must use General mode if you want to allow management traffic onto the switch over the PVID.Once you have the LAG created and physically connected you will need to set the channel-group to General mode, allowing the VLANs onto interface.

console(config-if)# switchport mode general

console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 10,11 tagged

console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 1

Both switches need to have the same VLANs created on them. In this case VLANs 10 and 11.

Once this is done then test to see if the switches can ping between each other. If they are, then move on to see if clients connected to the switches have network connectivity.

If you do not have connectivity you may need to look into static route commands for both switches.

Example

The following example identifies the ip-address ,subnet-mask, next-hop-ip.

console(config)#ip route 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.1

If you want VLAN 10 and 11 to communicate with each other then you will need to enabled VLAN routing. Here is an example of basic commands needed to enabled VLAN routing.

console#config

console(config)#ip routing

console(config)#interface vlan 10

console(config-if-vlan2)#routing

console(config-if-vlan2)#exit

console(config)#interface vlan 11

console(config-if-vlan3)#routing

console(config-if-vlan3)#exit

console(config-if-vlan4)#end

console#copy running-config startup-config
