 Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 7:50 am Post subject: project to configure Cisco Catalyst 6509 |
 |
|
Hello Gurus,
I am a networking newbie. I would be working on a project with a few
people to configure a Catalyst 6509 as a network backbone for a
compnay.
So far I have found out that it runs IOS version 12.2(17r)S2.
Has a supervisor engine 720 module.
6724 SFP 24 port gigabit eth SFP module
6748 GE TX 48 port module
6704 -10 GE module
I was reading the software documentation which enlists all the
commands.I will definately use that as a reference. But I need some
basic information which is common while setting up a network backbone
to get me started.I would really appreciate if you guys could get me
started on this.
I hope you could guide me with this query.
Cheers,
Ankit Parikh |

This is supervisor firmware version, not the IOS. Type Show ver and put the |
results here.

Tell which port you connect to other switches and do you put host directly |
to backbone?
Trunk? VTP Server? Routing? What IP address? VLANs? |

IOS version selection - use a safe harbour release
Physical design considerations like slot assignments ( i.e card
placement) - consider fiber cablerouting and copper cable routing.
fiber is very dleicate so you need to protect it as much as possible.
Logical design considerations - IP routing, VLAN numbering, Trunking,
Vlan pruning on trunks, Spanning Tree
suggestions:
run switch in transparent mode and avoid VTP
confiugre trunks in non-negotiable mode and avoid use of DTP
use UDLD to detect uni-directional links
use routed links whereever possible
use NTP to ensure all switches have synced and accurate time
sample trunk config from working SUP720:
interface GigabitEthernet1/1
description trunk to xxxxx
no ip address
logging event link-status
load-interval 30
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan <x>
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no shut |
