Automating VLAN Configuration on Dell FTOS Switches via GVRP

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is a standards-based protocol defined in the IEEE 802.1Q specification that provides for automatic VLAN configuration on switches. The Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) is used by switches supporting GVRP to register/de-register attribute values such … Continue reading

LACP and Trunking Between Juniper JunOS and Dell FTOS Switches

In this blog I demonstrate how to configure a LACP LAG and 8021.Q trunking between Juniper JunOS switches and Dell FTOS switches. I will utilize 2 x Juniper EX4200-48T switches [JunOS 11.1R6.4] and a Dell S60 switch [FTOS 8.3.3.9]. Below … Continue reading

Cisco – Spanning VLANs across Switches via Trunking

In this lab I use two Cisco WS-C2960-24TT [IOS 12.2(25)FX] switches to demonstrate how to span VLANs across switches via 802.1q trunking. I avoid using VTP by using “VTP transparent mode”; as a result, I have to configure the VLANs … Continue reading
