RE: [enterasys] Configuration question
Sean If I'm reading your original post correctly, you will have an S4 chassis at your core, with G3s as building distributors and E1 switches as edge switches. Since you mention a budget restraint on licences, I'm guessing that you intend to do your distributed routing on the G3s. (Both the E1 and S4 have standard OSPF). When I have been in a similar situation, (eg using gold DFEs as routers sans licence ), I have used RIP v2 in preference to statics. RIP is sub optimal for a couple of reasons, but it beats statics hands down IMHO. One other possibility you have is to run your load balancing on the S4. They handle this work very well, and that will certainly cure your ARP flood.

I work for a small private college (limited resources, lots of needs) in northeastern PA. Our network consists of hundreds of ports across 30 mostly small buildings, one big Layer 2 VLAN (because we never got around to segmenting it), and edge switches that are well past their prime. The system has served us well, but it's time for a forklift upgrade, edge to core. We went through an RFP process, accepting proposals for Brocade, Cisco, Enterasys and Juniper. All four proposals have merit, so the decision process is proving difficult. Our campus is in a rural area, with lots of space between the buildings, and much of our fiber plant is older multimode. We would like each building to have a gig connection back to the data center. However some of the buildings are beyond the typical 500 meter distance limit for gig over multimode. The multimode daisy-chains through some buildings that now have singlemode; so Brocade, Cisco and Juniper have proposed feeding the multimode buildings from them - essentially distributing core functions. Enterasys, on the other hand, offers optics (LC03) that can do gig over multimode for 2 KM, so all buildings would be able to home-run back to the data center. That has its appeal, and I would appreciate some feedback from others using LC03's over long MMF runs. Is that better than keeping MMF runs 500M and distributing core functions to remote buildings? The other thing that attracts our attention is the Netsight suite. We have a small staff, and at times have struggled to troubleshoot anomalies in the switching environment. I have heard from a couple of schools that Netsight really makes a big difference over what they had before. Anyone have good war stories on that? I've gathered that Enterasys employees participate in this list, but I am looking specifically for feedback from users. My apologies if this has been discussed before, but I could not find a link to a searchable archive. Thanks!

We do use for many years switches from Cabletron / Enterasys and have quite early realized the necessity for either switch blades with more than 48 ports and/or blades with special plugs like RJ21 (12x10/100) for environment with fibre installations, where the switch ports are directed towards media converters. Actually we do have four fat N7 switches with a large number of 7H4203-72 blades, which do have 6 RJ21 plugs. This is one environment with over 1000 fibre ports in the office. Then there are more than 10 N7 or N3 switches, where we use the same 7H4203-72 blades in conjunction with the MRJ21 wiring system. This is the successor of the old RJ21 system, which is limited to 10/100 only, because of the 4 wires used in this system. But as we had to go further with our local cabling projects and also the requirements of our heaviest users, we are now limited at 100 mbps and have started two years ago with the installation of MRJ21 systems and because of the lack of any MRJ21 switching blades from Enterasys have instead used 60 or even 72 port blades. But as you mention in your email, the cabling of those blades is not that simple (we call it: plug and prey, because we hope that none of these blades will ever fail !!) – and I have already placed a request to Enterasys for a network technician, who has three arms and tiny small fingers like a kid ;-) I append a picture of an N7 chassis, where we have put in two of the 72 port blades and you can see the bunch of 144 cables going up and right to the MRJ21 cabling system. Today we know, that placing two 72 port blades side-to-side is bad, there should be at least one slot empty inbetween. Also we have developed a special rack-mount kit for N3 chassis, so that the slots are vertical instead of horizontal. Then, since over two years we are talking to the Enterasys engineers to either bring out an 60/72 N-blade with the MRJ21 plugs. But this wish was delayed with the option, that with the Matrix-S switches appearing in Q3/09 a special blade should be available with the MRJ21 plugs.

RE: FW: [enterasys] Vlan configuration issue.
If you like, you could look on the C3 as a Cisco Hybrid (CatOS + IOS). You do not require a relay agent in the router interface. You configure a pool for each address range you need to serve and the 'pool network' command defines the addresses that each pool will serve. The 'set IP address' command can be a tough concept to grasp. However, unlike the E1 for example, the IP address on the switch cannot be in a subnet that is on the router (NB this may change). What this means in practice is that, if the C3 is your only router then you manage the C3 by telnet to one of the router interfaces and don't bother with the set IP address' command. You will need to set an IP address on the B3s in order to manage them, of course.

Goddard godda...@hbcs.org Monday, 18 May 2009 Greetings, I was wondering if there's a way to shutdown the backplane interfaces on certain DFE modules within a chassis. It would be an interesting feature to be able to break a chassis in half. For example, say you have modules in slots one through four. You could shutdown the backplane interfaces between slot one and slots three and four. Then do the same for the backplane interfaces on slot two. I believe the backplane is passive for the most part. You'd have to shutdown the interfaces individually at the module level. I've seen malfunctioning hardware isolate an N7 into two, distinct instances of the EOS code. Why not enable the end user to isolate the switch on his own? What do you guys think? I'd bet this is possible when you're logged in as the super secret debug user.
