Deployment of Dell M8024-k Blade Switch in Simple Mode with Cisco Nexus 5k Switch Page | 9 Scenario 3: Configuring multiple VLANs on a single LAG This section provides an overview of configuring multiple VLANs per internal port to connect to a server NIC with Tagging enabled, which is useful for management of VMs. Figure 6 shows the connectivity for this scenario. Adding a tagged or untagged VLAN to an internal port will add the same VLAN (tagged only) to all external ports that are members of the same port aggregator group as the internal port. The same VLAN cannot be in multiple aggregator groups on the M8024k. Figure 6. Graphic Representation of Scenario 3.

Web Interface:
Follow the steps below:
Select Switching > Port Aggregator > Internal Port VLAN.
Select a port from the Internal-Port drop-down menu, i.e. Te1/0/1.
From the Tagged-VLANs list select one or more VLANs, i.e. 101-103 (Figure 7).

Configuring the Cisco 5020 Switch
Login to the Cisco Nexus 5020 and make the following changes:
Nexus5020# configure
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Nexus5020(config)# feature lacp
Deployment of Dell M8024-k Blade Switch in Simple Mode with Cisco Nexus 5k Switch Page | 11 Nexus5020(config)# vlan 101-103 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# exit Nexus5020(config)# interface ethernet 1/1-4 Nexus5020(config-if-range)# channel-group 1 mode active Nexus5020(config-if-range)# exit Nexus5020(config)# interface port-channel 1 Nexus5020(config-if)# switchport mode trunk Nexus5020(config-if)# siwtchport trunk allowed vlan 101-103 Nexus5020(config-if)# end Validation To validate scenario 3, assign three different IP addresses to each VLAN interfaces on the Cisco switch and try to ping that IP address from the server. As an Example, to assign different IP addresses to VLAN interface on Cisco Nexus use the following commands: Nexus5020(config)# feature interface-vlan Nexus5020(config)# interface vlan 100 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# shutdown Nexus5020(config-vlan)# exit Nexus5020(config)# interface vlan 101 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# ip address 10.1.2.100/16 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# no shutdown Nexus5020(config-vlan)# exit Nexus5020(config)# interface vlan 102 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# ip address 10.1.3.100/16 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# no shutdown Nexus5020(config-vlan)# exit Nexus5020(config)# interface vlan 103 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# ip address 10.1.4.100/16 Nexus5020(config-vlan)# no shutdown Nexus5020(config-vlan)# exit In order to ping from server, make sure to use a correct subnet address and configure the network on your server correctly.
Deployment of Dell M8024-k Blade Switch in Simple Mode with Cisco Nexus 5k Switch Page | 12 Scenario 4: Configuring multiple LAGs and dedicating specific Uplinks This section will provide an overview of configuring multiple Port Aggregation Groups (LAGs) to group specific attached blade servers and dedicating specific Uplinks to carry that traffic to the Cisco Nexus switch network. For this scenario, blade servers in M1000e ports 1 through 8 get configured in Port Aggregator Group 1, while blade servers in ports 9 through 16 get configures in Port Aggregator Group 2. Figure 8.
