Extreme Switch Configuration

In previous post we saw how Extreme Switch Works. Now time to configure Extreme switch. Network Engineer who are CISCO background, will find it difficult to configure, but it is also true that it is easy to configure. I am taking Extreme switch and first of all we will create vlan on it. After that we will add different vlan on it. And then, we assign a particular IP on a particular VLAN's.

Create VLAN on Extreme Switch

We will take a vlan 'vicky' in this vlan and create it on the switch.
create vlan [vlan-name]

create vlan vicky

Configure Default VLAN

Now we will configure default VLAN. We have to delete ports from this VLAN.
configure vlan "Default" delete ports [port_range].

configure vlan "Default" delete ports 2-5

Configure Created VLAN

Now we will configure created VLAN "vicky". We can tag this vlan if we want.
configure VLAN "vicky" tag [tag_id].

configure VLAN "vicky" tag 100

Now, add ports to this VLAN

Now we will configure "vicky" VLAN. We have to add some ports in this VLAN.
configure VLAN "vicky" add ports [port_range].

configure vlan "vicky" add ports 2-5

Now, Configure IP address for this VLAN.

Now we will configure "vicky" VLAN. We will assign IP address to this VLAN.
configure VLAN "vicky" ipaddress [ip_address] [netmask]

configure vlan "vicky" ipaddress 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0

Now, Check total number of vlan and assigned ports.

We done our configuration, now, time to check our configuration.
show vlan [vlan_name]

show vlan "vicky"

Finally, try to communicate it with a PC.

Now, we will assign a IP address of same range in our PC, and try to communicate. We will first assign a static IP on the machine and then try to hit our switch ip on our web browser.
