Switch Configuration

A high-level overview of the switch configuration is shown in FIGURE 7-18.

Figure 7-18. Collapsed Design Without Layer 2 Switches

Configuring the Extreme Networks Switches

For the multi-tier data center, two Extreme Networks BlackDiamond switches were used for the core switches and one Summit7i switch was used for the edge switch.

Note

Network equipment from Foundry Networks can be used instead. See "Configuring the Foundry Networks Switches" on page 324.

To Configure the Extreme Networks Switches

1. Configure the core switches.

The following example shows an excerpt of the switch configuration file.

 # # MSM64 Configuration generated Thu Dec 6 20:19:20 2001 # Software Version 6.1.9 (Build 11)   By Release_Master on 08/30/01 11:34:27 configure slot 1 module g8x configure slot 2 module g8x configure slot 3 module g8x configure slot 4 module g8x configure slot 5 module g8x configure slot 6 module g8x configure slot 7 module f48t configure slot 8 module f48t ..................................................... configure dot1q ethertype 8100 configure dot1p type dot1p_priority 0 qosprofile QP1 configure dot1p type dot1p_priority 1 qosprofile QP2 configure dot1p type dot1p_priority 2 qosprofile QP3 configure dot1p type dot1p_priority 3 qosprofile QP4 ..................................................... enable sys-health-check configure sys-health-check alarm-level log enable system-watchdog config qosprofile QP1 minbw 0% maxbw 100% priority Low minbuf 0% maxbuf 0 K config qosprofile QP2 minbw 0% maxbw 100% priority LowHi minbuf 0% maxbuf 0 K 

2. Configure the edge switch.

The following example shows an excerpt of the switch configuration file.

Configuring the Foundry Networks Switches

This section describes the network architecture implementation using Foundry Networks equipment instead of Extreme Networks equipment. The overall setup is shown in FIGURE 7-19.

Figure 7-19. Foundry Networks Implementation

Master Core Switch Configuration

CODE EXAMPLE 7-1 shows an example of the configuration file for the master core switch (called MLS0 in the lab). We used the Foundry Networks BigIron switch.

Code example 7-1. MLS0 Configuration File

Standby Core Switch Configuration

CODE EXAMPLE 7-2 shows a partial listing of the configuration file for the standby core switch (called MLS1 in the lab). Again we used the Foundry Networks BigIron switch.

Code example 7-2. MLS1 Configuration File
