No need for 3 cables unless you are creating a LAG. To carry multiple VLAN across one connection you will use Trunk/General settings.   Example: console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e7 console(config-if)# switchport mode general console(config-if)# switchport general allowed vlan add 2,3,4,5 tagged console(config-if)# switchport general pvid 99   It depends on what ports 1 and 2 plug into. If they plug into a server and that server is VLAN unaware you would set it to untagged. You can also accomplish this by setting the port to access mode for the VLAN. Example: console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e1 console(config-if)# switchport mode access console(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2   But if it plugs into another network device that is VLAN aware, you may consider Tagged especially if there will be multiple VLANs across the connection.   On the 6224 you assign an up address to the VLAN with these commands. Example: console(config)#interface vlan 5 console(config-vlan)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Hi I am planning to get colocation service from ISP and i need some advice for below simple diagram as i'm not really good in networking.  [IMAGE] L3 switch = 6224 L2 switch = 5448 Blue vlan = management Green vlan = KVM host. VM will use this to connect internet  I have created all three vlans but i have a few questions 1. Do i need 3 cables from L3 to L2? One for connecting two switches, other two for vlan10 & 20? 2. If i assign port 1 to vlan10 and port 2 to vlan20, under GUI 'vlan membership' page what do i set for each vlans? 3. How do i assign the /24 IPs to green vlan?   Appreciate for any help i can get :) Thank you eth.
