Glad to here that is working. You can also set up a trunk on the SFP combo port.  This can be done with a single port/cable or multiple.  You can lag several together to get more lanes of traffic across a single virtual connection. console# config console(config)# interface ethernet g45 console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20 console (config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 1 You may be aware of this already.  The last 4 ethernet ports are sharing with the 4 SFP ports.  When you configure port g45-48 it is configuring these ports in combo.  If a cable is inserted in the SFP port then the corresponding ethernet port goes dormant. If no cable is plugged into the SFP port then the corresponding ethernet port is active.
Hi Guys,im a Linux\VMware Sysadmin that is beginning with networking, sorry for my stupid newbie question and thanks for the support.This is my scenario:2 X PowerConnect 54482 X PowerEdge 29503 X PowerEdge 19501 X PowerVault MD3220iVLAN:VLAN 1 Production 192.168.0.0/255.255.252.0 (ethernet uplink)VLAN 20 iSCSI TrafficVLAN 10 DMZ 192.168.5.0/255.255.0.0 (ethernet uplink)VLAN 8 Guest 192.168.8.0/255.255.255.0 (ethernet uplink)VLAN 5 Routers I found some how-to for setting via the console setup:## this is example configuration for switch1## the following is recommended by DELL for iSCSI environmentspanning-tree mode rstpinterface range ethernet g(1-12)spanning-tree portfastexitinterface range ethernet g(1-12)flowcontrol onexitport jumbo-frameinterface range ethernet g(1-12)switchport mode generalexit##create new vlansvlan databasevlan 20-10-5-8exit##name vlans interface vlan 1name Productionexitinterface vlan 20name iSCSIexitinterface vlan 10name DMZexitinterface vlan 5name Routerexitinterface vlan 8name Guestexitinterface range ethernet g(1-12)##specify that this port is a general portswitchport mode general##port 1-12 has has vlan id 20switchport general pvid 20##allowed only tagged vlanswitchport general allowed vlan add 20 taggedswitchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-onlyexit## configure the Production vlan.interface range ethernet g(13-24)switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 1switchport general allowed vlan add 1 taggedswitchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-onlyexit## configure the DMZ vlan.interface range ethernet g(25-36)switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 10switchport general allowed vlan add 10 taggedswitchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-onlyexit## configure the Guest vlan.interface range ethernet g(37-40)switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 8switchport general allowed vlan add 8 taggedswitchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-onlyexit## configure the Router vlan.interface range ethernet g(41-44)switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 5switchport general allowed vlan add 5 taggedswitchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-onlyexitI'm sure missing a lot of work to set up optimally.I have 2 and I want to 4Gbps SFP interconnect the two switches, one SFP per share iscsi traffic, one SFP per share production vlan.ANY help is appreciated.
