Configuring N3024 Switch as Redundant

Dear Daniel,

Thanks for your answer.

I forgot to mention that SonicWall series is 2600...

Can SonicWall 2600 is each port  have the same subnet? (port 1 and port 2 have subnet ex : 50.50.50.0/24)

If I have the IP of SonicWall that directly connect to Switch A is : 50.50.50.2

So should I do this?

Switch A:

Interface port 1 :

no switchport

ip addr 50.50.50.1

exit

Switch B:

Interface port 1 

no switchport

???

???

1. For Static Routing, should I do like this :?

 

Switch A :

ip default-gateway 50.50.50.2

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.50.2 253

Switch B:

ip default-gateway ???

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ???  253

2. I'm using VRRP with master & backup mode...

Should I register all VLAN with each VLAN for each VLAN?

for Ex :

Switch A

ip routing

ip vrrp

interface VLAN 10

ip addr 10.10.10.1 /24

vrrp 10

vrrp 10 ip 10.10.10.254

vrrp 10 priority 200

vrrp 10 preempt

vrrp 10 track interface vlan 50 (Should I use this?)

vrrp 10 track ip route 50.50.50.0/24 (or I use this?)

exit

Switch B

ip routing

ip vrrp

interface VLAN 10

ip addr 10.10.10.2 /24

vrrp 10

vrrp 10 ip 10.10.10.254

vrrp 10 priority 200

vrrp 10 preempt

exit

Please need your answer and review for this.

If you all have suggestion/opinion please dont mind.

Thanks before

Thanks Daniel 

Btw,I have another question,

1. What should I configure to port which is directly connect to SonicWall?

switchport mode access 

switchport access vlan 1

or 

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan all

2. for VRRP configuration :

vrrp 10 track interface vlan 50

vrrp 10 track ip route 50.50.50.0/24

Should I use this example configuration on each switch or just one switch (Master Switch)?

3. Oh yes, when I'm using VRRP, I get this picture :

Why it have Backup and Master on one switch? Whats the problem? Is it OK?

Thanks again Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Here the output :

From SwitchA (Master) : here

and

From SwitchB (BackUp) : here

Thanks before.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks again.

Yes, I still using VLAN 1 to pass traffic, still dont try the another one.

For SonicWall, can X0 and X1 the same VLAN?

ex: (All with  vrrp 10 ip 50.50.50.254)

X0 = LAN = 50.50.50.2

X1 = LAN = 50.50.50.2

Switch A:

Interface 1 = Access mode for VLAN 50

VLAN 50 = 50.50.50.253

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.50.2

 

Switch B:

Interface 1 = Access mode for VLAN 50

Int VLAN 50 = 50.50.50.254

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.50.2

or

X0 = LAN = 50.50.50.2

X1 = LA;N = 50.50.50.3

Switch A :

Interface 1 = Access mode for VLAN 50

VLAN 50 = 50.50.50.252

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.50.2

 

Switch B:

Interface 1 = Access mode for VLAN 50

Int VLAN 50 = 50.50.50.253

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.50.3

Thanks before

Hi Daniel,

So from your answer, the Gateway on SonicWall (X0 & X1) can be the same VLAN but different IP address.

And CMIIW for the conclusion for this topology :

 

SONICWALL

X0 : 10.10.10.1/24

X1 : 10.10.10.2/24

SWITCH A

ip routing

ip vrrp

interface port 2

switchport mode trunk

Interface VLAN 10

ip address 10.10.10.252 /24

vrrp 10

vrrp 10 ip 10.10.10.254

vrrp 10 priority 200

vrrp 10 preempt

vrrp 10 track interface vlan 10

vrrp 10 track ip route 10.10.10.0/24 

exit

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1

SWITCH B

ip routing

ip vrrp

interface port 2

switchport mode trunk

Interface VLAN 10

ip address 10.10.10.253 /24

vrrp 10

vrrp 10 ip 10.10.10.254

vrrp 10 priority 200

vrrp 10 preempt 

exit

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.2

NOTE : Each VLAN (20,30) must be set to VRRP one each switch just like VLAN 10 but with the same subnet of their IP.

VLAN 20 : 20.20.20.xxx/24

VLAN 30 : 30.30.30.xxx/24

Thanks before 

Thanks a lot Daniel,

How about the VRRP when Im using different VLAN on each switch that direct to firewall (VLAN 50 & VLAN 51)?

Should I use  different track ip route on VRRP or only on master?

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.50.1

vrrp 50 ip 50.50.50.254

vrrp 50 priority 200

vrrp 50 track interface vlan 50 

vrrp 50 track ip route 50.50.50.0/24

vrrp 50 preempt

 

and

 

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.50.51.1

vrrp 51 ip 50.50.51.254

vrrp 51 priority 195

vrrp 51 track interface vlan 51 

vrrp 51 track ip route 50.50.51.0/24

vrrp 51 preempt

 

And for the link that from/to storage & server, should I use spanning-tree portfast?
