  • Core Switch Upgrade Operation Guide

    Core Switch Upgrade Operation Guide

    This lab simulates a real-world enterprise network upgrade involving the replacement and configuration of core switches, port migration, ACL deployment, and rollback planning. So far I have two options. The wiring rack has 3810M switches as well and I will be putting in a QSFP module for faster fiber connection. So my question is, what would your recommendations be for replacing the 3810's. also, i second the question above. is this for a business? all your. Should I shut down all VMs as best practice or it is not required? Will the VMs running during the upgrade procedure freeze & pickup automatically from where they left off once online or they can go corrupt.


  • Core switch VLANs do not communicate with each other

    Core switch VLANs do not communicate with each other

    Normally, VLANs are separate and cannot talk to each other. In a LAN, VLANs divide devices into distinct collision domains and Layer 3 (L3) subnets. Inter-VLAN routing makes communication possible between them, which is important in networks that use VLANs to. However, a common confusion arises when devices are on different VLANs but share the same IP subnet: they can't communicate with each other. The link between users is faulty. Layer 2 port isolation is configured on the switch. RoAS uses one physical interface with multiple logical subinterfaces. Here's what I type every time I set up RoAS: Step 1: Router subinterfaces (complete config): ip helper-address 192. 10 ! DHCP. Unless you assign a VLAN IP to the other VLANs on each switch, you won't be able to ping them from the same VLAN on another switch unless something is routing inter vlan traffic.
