Hello, I hope you guys can help :) I'm busy migrating to a new Dell Server and Networking infrastructure from an old HP Server and Network infrastructure. As a first step in the migration I want to virtualise all the existing HP Servers and host those VM's on the new Dell Infrastructure. This is to buy time as the HP kit is out of capacity and warrantee etc. Dell Force10 s4810 - Datacenter switch where my Dell Servers are plugged into Dell PowerConnect 7024p - Access switch that is used for OOB Management AND connecting to the old HP Network HP 4800G - Old Core network switch where the HP Servers are plugged in to. Current Config: The old HP and new Dell networks are routed and talk to each other through the 7024p. This has been configured and works well. Challenges: The HP Servers are on a 192.168.62.0/24 subnet (Default VLAN 1) The Dell Servers are on a 10.62.20.0/24 subnet (Vlan 20) The New Infrastructure VM's are on 10.62.30.0/24 (Vlan 30) Default VLAN on the Dell Kit is 4000 and VLAN 1 is in shutdown I want to stretch the 192.168.62.0/24 network onto the Dell Infrastructure and onto a virtual switch in Hyper-V so I can virtualise the HP Servers without any reconfiguration. The OS's are 2003 old and not worth the time investment to reconfigure as I'm building a new infrastructure on the Dell Virtualisation platform and every service will be properly migrated to the new environment. I'd appreciate any guidance on how to get the 192.168.62.0/24 HP Default VLAN 1 stretched onto the Dell Environment.
Hello Daniel, Thanks for sticking with me and the extra effort you put into the diagram. I'm don't think I can move the routing for x.x.62.0/24 to the Dell Equipment as there are too many other dependencies atm. I've also created a diagram http://en.community.dell.com/members/jesusslave/files/network-stretch.png.aspx with more detail and config snippets of the AS-IS. I'd appreciate if you could look over that and share some of your thoughts... Kind Regards

Hello Daniel,
Thank you so much for responding :)
The HP Core Switch is doing the routing for the HP Network and the Dell Force10 is doing the routing for the Dell network.
The connections are setup as follows:
interface Gi1/0/23
channel-group 2 mode active
description "Uplink-to-HP-Old-Core"
spanning-tree portfast
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 10
exit
!
interface Gi1/0/24
channel-group 2 mode active
description "Uplink-to-HP-Old-Core"
spanning-tree portfast
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 10
exit
!
interface Te1/2/1
channel-group 1 mode active
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 4000
exit
!
interface Te1/2/2
channel-group 1 mode active
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 4000
exit
!
interface port-channel 1
description "uplink-core"
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 4000
mtu 9216
exit
!
interface port-channel 2

switchport mode trunk
mtu 9216
exit
