LACP and Trunking Between Juniper JunOS and Dell FTOS Switches

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Humair

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 →

LACP and Trunking Between Brocade FOS and Dell FTOS Switches

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Humair

In this short lab I’ll demonstrate creating a LACP LAG and trunking between Brocade switches running FOS and Dell switches running FTOS. I utilize two Brocade 8000 switches [FOS 6.3], one Dell S60 switch [FTOS 8.3.3.8], and one Dell PowerEdge … Continue reading →

Dell Force10 – Layer 2 Multipathing via Virtual Link Trunking (VLT)

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Humair

In this blog I use one Dell Force10 S50N [FTOS 8.4.2.7] and three Dell Force10 S4810 switches [FTOS 8.3.12.1] to demonstrate Dell Force10’s layer 2 mulipathing technology called Virtual Link Trunking (VLT). With VLT, you can create a LAG for … Continue reading →

Setting up Cisco EtherChannels – Static, PAgP, and LACP

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Humair

In this lab I used a Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750G-24TS switch [IOS 12.2(25)SEE3] and a Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560G-24TS switch [IOS 12.2(40)SE]. I also physically connected GigabitEthernet 1/0/17 on the Catalyst 3750G to GigabitEthernet 0/17 on the Catalyst 3560G; I did the … Continue reading →

Creating a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) in FTOS

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Humair

This lab demonstrates how to create a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) in FTOS on Force10 switches. A LAG in Force10’s FTOS is called a port channel and in Cisco’s IOS is called an EtherChannel. As described by IEEE 802.3ad, LAG … Continue reading →
