Linking two switches together.
hi Guys ,
quick question in relation to joining two switches together,
can I link a 2950 switch with a 1000 BASE-SX with a 3560G with 4 SPF ports with fibre and what pitfalls should i look out for .
Thanks in advance
Kevin
Hello,
So you would like to connect GBIC to SFP, you need Multimode Duplex Fiber Optical cable with SC-LC connectors. If SFP to SFP you need the same cably type with LC-LC connectors.

Hi
I have two switchs (cat3750) and both them back to cat6500.
one of our client, accidentally link one access port on one machine, and to another access port on another machine.
the access port configuration is:
interface FastEthernet1/0/2
description standard Ports
switchport access vlan 006
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 906
switchport port-security maximum 2
switchport port-security
switchport port-security aging time 2
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5
priority-queue out
mls qos trust device cisco-phone
mls qos trust cos
auto qos voip cisco-phone
macro description cisco-phone
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
service-policy input AUTOQOS-STANDARD-POLICY
And this link cause big multicast storm. and case eigrp routing unstable until the link is removed. I hardly to believe link a cable between two switch on access port will cause such big issue; only thing I know is at same time a multicast application also running in this area. and after I broke the link the application is still running without any problem.
Could I get advice? if there is any possible to make configuration on access ports more secury on this case? Could I get advice, priciply what is possible reason for this case?
Any comments will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Julxuboth same. there is standard configuration. no different.

Are you able to link two accounts together. For example, I have had an account for a long time, but now my husband has one as well as my son. My son is currently signed in with my account but I would like to give him his own as well as share what I have with my husband.
Thanks,
StephaneeSorry, but it is not possible to merge iTunes Store accounts. You can, however, use content from multiple iTunes Store acounts on any given system or device. You just have to authorize the device to each account. You will have to use the account though which any item was purchased for redownloading, app updates, etc.

Linking two computers together
Can I link two macs together so I have access to both but the other computer doesn't have access to mine?
If you own both and have admin accounts on them, yes. On the "other" computer, go to System Preferences, Sharing, and turn on File Sharing.
When the two computers are on the same network, you should see the other computer appear in your sidebar in Finder. Click it, authenticate with your admin details (from the other computer), and you now have access to its files.

Hi,
I have a 13" MacBook Air Mid 2013, 128GB, 4GB RAM, 1.3 GHz, OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
When I put a folder in iCloud Drive, the folder is in iCloud Drive and on my Desktop. What I want to do is link the two folders together so when I save a file in the folder on my desktop, it puts it in the folder that's in iCloud Drive too. I hope I have explained this good enough.
Please help.

Hello all,
i want to link two elements in two JTrees
so when i add a child to one of them at run time
it will appear in the other too???
thanks in advance.well then all you have to do is to make sure that you add the same "MutableTreeNode" object, (the element you want to link) into both models. adding a child to that node will then fire the update events to the view, i.e. the tree.

How to link two keyevents together ?
I need to detect Shift + 1 and 1 separately, as these two will trigger different tasks. Normal keys like 1,a can be detected in KeyTyped function (KeyEvent.KEY TYPED) and Shift can be detected from keyPressed function (KeyEvent.KEYPRESSED).
But how can I link these two together ?
It is possible that user gives Shift + 1 and then gives 2.
But in my program how can I make out that this Shift is linked to 1 and not to 2 ?tech_cheetah wrote:
From the APIs I have figured out that I can use this method to check if shift was pressed
public boolean isShiftDown()
The problem with this is that it will still catch sequences such as
[shift down] 2 1 ...
So you wouldn't have the sequence you were looking for, but maybe that's ok?
If you search for my KeyboardCommands class, you'll see there is a way to map arbitrary character sequences (not just shift/control, etc) to an Action. This might be what you're looking for -

Message Edited by Gus on 01-15-2006 04:50 PMsure, any card that has the output for 5. has that capability. i am not sure about the inner power supply tho. the only thing to do is to get a adapter so you can plug it both in. dont know why would you do that to be honest since you would have 0speakers and 2 sbwrs playing the same stuff at the same time. and if u were asking if its possible to get card and use it for 2 independent computers- hell yea, but why in the world would you do sucha thing- to make it running would cost you 0 times more than buying two new audio cards. just think of what would you all have to get - extra power supply, extra slot adapter, output adapters and you would end up figuring out that this is only a half of what you would need and ultimately you would end up like i said with 500bucks having a whole bunch of junk cords and boxes outside your case since you wouldnt be able to fit it in.
another words- bullshiz, get 2 cards, SBAudigy sells for 50bucks.

Hello,
I've been thinking of getting two PowerMacs probably a G4 and a MacPro. My question is:
Is there a way to have one of the two, be the computer I use and have the other connected to it?
Essentially so that I could use the Superdrive, processor and Ram on the other mac. Somewhat to create one computer with another connected to it so I can use all of the computers features through one.
If it is possible How?
And what do I need to do it?
Also is this just a waste of money to get two?
I'll be using it for professional Final Cut Pro editing.
Thank You!
eMac 1ghz 768MB Ram SuperDrive 80gb HD Mac OS X (10.4.8)I'm not quite sure that this question was answered but I too have the same type of question. I have two Macbook Pros, 1 Core Duo and 1 Core Duo 2. I would like to know if these two computers can be connected together where all hardware can be used, especially the Superdrives. Can 1 be used as the read and the other be used as the write for disc copy purposes?
Further, can all ports be utilized from 1 machine such as the firewire and USB ports where I may have a mouse connected, can the mouse be used for both machines. If an external HD is connected, can the HD be accessed by both machines? Thank you in advance for your knowledge

How to link two rows together? Weights should be tied to returns!!
Hello CB experts! I have a question. It may be simple or it may not; not sure. So, I’m looking for some guidance here. I have historical return on my sheet named ‘Symbols’. In my ‘Returns’ sheet, I have Shares, Return, Volatility, and Weights, along with a Covariance Matrix and a Correlation Matrix on the sheet. I put an Efficient Frontier curve in there and the top performing components of the Dow. I also, have a sheet named ‘Returns-CB’; this is where my CB analysis is. So, from E6:AH6 and E8:AH8, I have defined CB assumptions (they are pretty much all the same). Anyway, my question is this: how do I link the items in row 6 to the items in row 8? If I have 12% return and 30% return for stock AA and stock BA, I should NOT have 0% weight; I want to invest in these stocks. Similarly, if I have a weight of 15% for stock CAT, I should NOT have 0% return. This doesn’t make any sense. Can someone please tell me how to link the returns and weights. It works perfectly fine in the ‘Returns’ sheet; I used MS Solver to get this working. I was trying to do something similar in the ‘Returns-CB’ sheet.
You can download the file from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?5lk0gtcd261cy3c
Thanks everyone!!I know this has something to do with constraints. For instance, Cell C8 must = 100%. Cells E8:AH8 will change, depending on the weights of the stocks (this is contingent on risk; defined assumptions and parameters of the distribution curves). Likewise, Cells E6:AH6 must change, depending on the potential future returns of the stocks (this is also contingent on the risk). It seems like, if I define an assumption, it wipes out any formula that I have in the cell. So, I'm not sure how to 'link' the E6:AH6 range and the E8:AH8 range. Does anyone here have any ideas on this?

Link aggregation stradling two switches?
Hey guys, I'm back with more questions about Link agregation. I figured out that I do have to manually configure both of my switches to support it. Now though I'm stuck with trying to figure out the best way to implement it. I have a Netgear FSM726 and a Linksys EF24G2. Both are 24-port 100BT switches with 2 Gigabit ports on them. They are currently setup like this: The Xserve runs with one gigabit port going into one of the gigabit ports on the Linksys. The other gigabit port on the linksys runs into the Netgear to join the two together. That leaves one open gigabit port on the netgear.
So in order to setup link aggregation I'd have to use two gigabit ports on one of the switches, or use two 100BT ports. Alternatively, I was thinking if I setup link aggregation on the Xserve and then just ran each of the two lines into one gigabit port on both switches it may work without having to do any configuring on the switches? Will that cause any problems with network traffic?
If I go with the gigabit port on one switch idea, as far as I see, I'd have to join the two switches with a 100BT connection instead of the current gigabit line. I'm not even sure if that matters really. So which way is a better way to go? Also, if I go with using the gigabit ports on one switch, can I use two open 100BT ports to join into the other switch for increased bandwidth? Thanks for helping out here.Steve has it right. Link aggregation only works between two devices (e.g. a server and a switch, or two switches). You cannot link three devices (a server and two switches) using a single link aggregation. That's because of how the traffic flows over the link.
Your best solution depends on the traffic patterns on your network - where are the clients that are hitting this server?
If you have a dozen clients that hit the server a lot, plus more clients that don't hit it much (or at all), plus printers, etc., you could use two of the gigabit ports on one switch as a link aggregate to the server and plug the busy clients into that switch, then plug the other clients into the other switch, using a 100base-T link (or multiple 100base-T links) to connect to two switches together.
This may or may not be viable, in which case a separate gigabit switch to connect the server and the two existing switches may be the best solution. -
Networking Best Practices - Connecting Two Switches
Connecting two switches together is an easy task, which makes it so frustrating when it doesn’t work. Here we will outline a basic scenario of connecting two switches and achieving connectivity. In these scenarios we will be using commands and settings that will work for most modern PowerConnect switches. However this does not cover all possible scenarios and the commands may differ slightly from switch to switch.
For instance, in most cases you can use General or Trunk mode when connecting two switches. However, on the PowerConnect 62xx series switches, you must use General mode if you want to allow management traffic onto the switch over the PVID. If you use Trunk mode, you will not have the default VLAN on those ports. The ports will only allow tagged traffic.
For more details on the difference between Access, General, and Trunk modes, follow this link.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/p/19445142/20089157.aspx#20089157
It is always a good idea to have the user and CLI guide for your switch, to reference any possible changes in command syntax.

Layer 2
Layer 2 switches operate at the data link layer of the OSI model. Layer 2 is responsible for error checking and transmitting data across the physical media. MAC addressing sources and destination protocols are layer 2 protocols. Layer 2 switches use the MAC address of data packets to determine where those packets should go. It learns the MAC addresses of all devices and creates a segment/forwarding table.
When a switch receives a frame with a destination address that isn't in its forwarding table, the switch forwards the frame to all other ports. If the destination machine responds to the server, the switch will listen to the reply and learn which port the destination machine is attached to. It then adds that MAC address to the forwarding table.
The Dell PowerConnect Layer 2 switches have ports that all operate in VLAN 1 by default. If it is acceptable to have all traffic on the same broadcast domain, then you can simply leave the default alone, connect the two switches and traffic will flow.
If you do not want all traffic on the same broadcast domain, then we need to look at adding additional broadcast domains through the use of VLANs.
We will use 3 VLANs for the following scenario.
VLAN 1=Management
VLAN 2=Client
VLAN 3=Server
To create these VLANs we do the following commands (VLAN 1 is already created by default)
console(config)# vlan database
console(config-vlan)# VLAN 2
console(config-vlan)# VLAN 3
console(config-vlan)# exit
We can then name the VLANs to help keep things organized.
console(config)# interface vlan 2
console(config-vlan)# name Client
console(config-vlan)# exit
console(config)# interface vlan 3
console(config-vlan)# name Server
console(config-vlan)# exit
Once we have the VLANs created we can place a device in that VLAN by placing the port it plugs into, in access mode for the specific VLAN.
So we have a workstation on port e2 we want to be placed in VLAN 2, we would issue the following commands.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e2
console(config-if)# switchport mode access
console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
console(config-if)# exit
The next port plugs into a server on port e3 we want on VLAN 3, we would issue these commands.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e3
console(config-if)# switchport mode access
console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
console(config-if)# exit
For the ports connecting the two switches together, we place the ports in trunk mode and specify the native VLAN and allowed VLANs.
For the port e1 that connect the two switches to each other would be configured like this.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
console(config-if)# switchport mode general
console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 2,3 tagged
console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 1
console(config-if)# exit
Once these VLANs and port settings are made on both switches. A server connected to switch A on VLAN 3 should be able to communicate with another Server connected to switch B that is also in VLAN 3. Without the use of a router the devices in VLAN 3 will not be able to communicate with devices that are outside of their broadcast domain (i.e. VLAN 2 devices could not reach VLAN 3 devices)
Layer 3 + Layer 2
Until recently, routers were the only devices capable of layer 3 protocols. Switches capable of routing are now available and in widespread use. In most cases we will connect our layer 2 switches to a Layer 3 capable switch to perform our routing for us.
On the layer 3 switches we will use the same VLANs and setup that we did with the layer 2 switches. Then we will add to the configuration.
We can assign an IP address to each switch with the following command.
Switch A
console(config)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
Switch B
console(config)#ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0
Then we will enable routing only on Switch A
console(config)# ip routing
Switch A we assign an IP address to VLAN 2 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
console(config)# interface vlan 2
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
Switch A we assign an IP address to VLAN 3 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
console(config)# interface vlan 3
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.30.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
On both switch A and switch B we will keep things simple and use interface 1/e1 for the connection between each switch. Setting both switches 1/e1 to general mode, allowing the additional VLAN 2,3, and keeping the PVID of 1.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
console(config-if)# switchport mode general
console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 2,3 tagged
console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 1
console(config-if)# exit
We will have one client computer connect to switch A on port 1/e2 and one client connect to switch B on port 1/e2. These ports will be in access mode for VLAN 2, and the config should look like this on both switches.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e2
console(config-if)# switchport mode access
console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
console(config-if)# exit
We will have another client computer connect to switch A on port 1/e3 and one client connect to switch B on port 1/e3. These ports will be in access mode for VLAN 3, and the config should look like this on both switches.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e3
console(config-if)# switchport mode access
console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
console(config-if)# exit
On Clients connected to Switch A we will assign an IP address and gateway based on the VLAN they are in access mode for.
Client connected to access port for VLAN 2.
IP Address:172.16.20.11
Default Gateway:172.16.20.1
Client connected to access port for VLAN 3.
IP Address:172.16.30.11
Default Gateway:172.16.30.1
On Clients connected to Switch B we will assign an IP address and gateway based on the VLAN they are in access mode for.
Client connected to access port for VLAN 2.
IP Address:172.16.20.12
Default Gateway:172.16.20.1
Client connected to access port for VLAN 3.
IP Address:172.16.30.12
Default Gateway:172.16.30.1
External Connection
At some point we may want traffic to have an external connection. To do this we can create a new VLAN for our point to point connection from Switch A to our router. We will use VLAN 7 for this and assign an IP address.
console(config)# vlan database
console(config-vlan)# VLAN 7
console(config-vlan)# exit
console(config)# interface vlan 7
console(config-vlan)# name WAN
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
On our router we will assign an IP address of 10.10.10.1
Then place the port connecting the switch and router into access mode for VLAN 7. In this case we use port e4.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e4
console(config-if)# switchport mode access
console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 7
console(config-if)# exit
We will then need to put in a default route with the next hop as the router IP address. This allows the switch to know where to route traffic not destined for VLANs 2, 3, or 7.
console(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1
Next on the router we’ll need to add a route back so the router knows about the networks attached to switch A. Generally adding a static route on most routers is done with the following command:
ip route {Network} {Wildcard Mask} {Next Hop-IP}
In our case here are the 2 static routes we could use.
Ip route 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.255 10.10.10.2
Ip route 172.16.30.0 0.0.0.255 10.10.10.2
The routing that we enabled on Switch A will enable traffic from the other VLANs to traverse over port 1/e4 to the router, connecting us to external traffic. The routes we added to the router allow the traffic to flow back to the switch over port 1/e4.
Layer 3 + Layer 3
In some situations we have two switches, each setup to route for its own broadcast domain, which we want to connect together. In this situation we no longer have a need to use Trunk or General mode between the switches. Instead we can create a common VLAN that will be used for the connection between the two switches.
To create this VLAN we will run the following commands on both switch A and B
console(config)# vlan database
console(config-vlan)# vlan 6
console(config-vlan)# exit
console(config)# interface vlan 6
console(config-vlan)# name Connection
console(config-vlan)# exit
On switch A we assign an IP address to VLAN 6 and enable routing on the VLAN.
console(config)# interface vlan 6
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.60.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
On switch B we assign an IP address to VLAN 6 and enable routing on the VLAN.
console(config)# interface vlan 6
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.60.2 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
On both switch A and B we place the connecting ports into Access mode for VLAN 6.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1
console(config-if)# switchport mode access
console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 6
console(config-if)# exit
We then need to make some changes to switch B now that it is layer 3 and not layer 2 and has its own broadcast domain.
We will enable routing on Switch B
console(config)# ip routing
What used to be VLAN 2 and 3 will now be VLAN 4 and 5 for our separate broadcast domains.
Switch B we assign an IP address to VLAN 4 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
console(config)# interface vlan 4
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.40.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
Switch B we assign an IP address to VLAN 5 and enabling routing on the VLAN.
console(config)# interface vlan 5
console(config-if-vlan2)# Routing
console(config-if-vlan2)# ip address 172.16.50.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if-vlan2)# exit
On Clients connected to Switch B we will assign an IP address and gateway based on the VLAN they are in access mode for.
Client connected to access port for VLAN 4.
IP Address:172.16.40.11
Default Gateway:172.16.40.1
Client connected to access port for VLAN 5.
IP Address:172.16.50.11
Default Gateway:172.16.50.1
The end result should look like this.
Troubleshooting
If we are having issues with connectivity, we may need to place some static routes in place to help traffic to the next hop in the network.
On switch A we configure a static route to help traffic to the next hop in the network, which is the router.
console(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1
The external router will also need a path defined back to all networks/VLANs.
To check the status of a port we can use the command. Show interfaces detail, this will help us see the port status. For example to check the status of port 48, we would run this command.
console# show interfaces detail ethernet 1/g48
To check routing paths:
console# show ip route
The IP address of the network for each VLAN should be listed as C – Connected. Then also a path or default route to your upstream router.
We can use basic ping commands from a client to help test where connectivity is dropping off at. By doing this we can narrow down where in the network to start troubleshooting.
-Ping from client to default gateway, being the VLAN the client is in access mode for. If this fails then we may need to double check our client settings making sure the proper IP and gateway are being used.
-Ping from client to the ip address of the switch the client plugs into. If this fails we may not have VLAN routing enabled on the VLAN the client is in.
-Ping from client to another client on same VLAN, same switch. If this fails we need to check on client settings, IP address and gateway.
-ping from client to another client on different VLAN, same switch. If this fails we need to double check the VLAN routing commands are in place.
-ping from client to the ip address of the next switch in the network. If this fails then check Trunk port configuration from switch to switch, ensuring the VLAN is added to the Trunk port.
-ping from client to another client on same VLAN, different switch. If this fails, check Trunk port settings.
-ping from client to another client on different VLAN, different switch. If this fails then check trunk settings and VLAN routing configuration.Derek,
I tried to draw my prefered setup for this network configuration.
I would create a Team with the two 1 GBit NICs and use it for Domain, DNS, Backup and any SystemCenter Agents.
I would also Team the two 10 GBit NICs and than assign it to a Hyper-V Switch for the VMs. In Windows Server 2012 it is posible to create vNICs for the Management OS that use this Hyper-V Switch (Converged Network Design). I would create two vNICs SMB1
and SMB2 to use them for Cluster and Livemigration traffic with SMB Multichannel. If your storage system supports SMB Multichannel you can also use both as storage NICs (but this depends wich vendor you have).
Hope this helps.
