Dell PowerConnect managed switches

The management interface of Dell switches varies slightly between models, but the following procedure will accom- modate most models. The configuration is quite similar in style to Cisco IOS.

First, create the VLANs:

console# config console(config)# vlan database console(config-vlan)# vlan 10 name dmz media ethernet console(config-vlan)# vlan 20 name phones media ethernet console(config-vlan)# exit

Next, setup a trunk port:

console(config)# interface ethernet 1/1 console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk console(config-if)# switchport allowed vlan add 1-4094 tagged console(config-if)# exit

Finally, add ports to the VLANs:

console(config)# interface ethernet 1/15 console(config-if)# switchport allowed vlan add 10 untagged console(config-if)# exit
