Thanks for this great translation guide! It’s really helpful for someone who’s been working on Cisco for 10+ years, but just bought an Extreme on Ebay for the home lab because it’s so much cheaper!! Helped me get my home lab up in no time!

This is also good.
The software works well, Ammyy Admin doesn’t require installation or specific config, works behind gateways NAT as well as within one LAN.

When you said:

“Since your interVLAN routing occurs at the core, the switch to switch trunks need to be tagged on all VLANs (or just the ones that the access switch need to know about…think VLAN pruning in Cisco Land). ”

But is possible to configure switch to switch connection with tagged and one vlan with untagged in Extreme world? For example:

configure vlan default add port 1 untagged
configure vlan data add port 10 tagged

And this vlan 1 works like native vlan.

When I configured it on my core and in the other side of my switch access, is it work? Just to remember my servers is in vlan 1 (default) and it is connected only in my core switch, in the access switch it is configured all port in vlan 10 with untagged (workstation), except the port that connected both switch. (tag to vlan 10 and untagged to vlan 1)

Since your interVLAN routing occurs at the core, the switch to switch trunks need to be tagged on all VLANs (or just the ones that the access switch need to know about…think VLAN pruning in Cisco Land). Typically a host (even a server) is connected to the switch port untagged (although I’m seeing more tagging in the VM world now).

This would be the same if you had a Cisco access switch to an Extreme core switch.

Cisco:
int g0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,5,9

Extreme:
configure vlan default add port 1 tagged
configure vlan data add port 1 tagged
configure vlan voice add port 1 tagged

Hopefully that answers your question.

Comment on Windows / IIS SSL – Restrict Weak Ciphers by Mark

After much troubleshooting I found an issue with all these blogs and KB’s floating around. This Reg key is incorrect.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\DES 56/56]
“Enabled”=dword:00000000

It should be
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\DES 56]
“Enabled”=dword:00000000

Hi,

I saw your configuration and where you put

-switch to switch
configure vlan default add port 1 tagged
configure vlan data add port 1 tagged
configure vlan voice add port 1 tagged

on Extreme switches I would like to know if I have server in my default vlan it should be tagged (connection switch to switch) when the others computers in the network need access this servers, but in this access switches there is not a server?

Note: This server is connected in my core, where the inter vlan routing occur, this core switch connected to another layer 2 switch where has a computer in another vlan (10), Is necessary to configure the port that connected both switches with tag for vlan 1 and 10?

Thanks – this Recreating Exchange OWA story got me out of the doldrums after I messed up IIS security when getting some other stuff to run on the server.
Appreciated!

Sorry it’s taken so long for a reply. I imagine you already figured this our or abandoned the need, however, I have never had to do this and haven’t used Extreme in nearly 2 years.
