It can drive two Anvil! systems along with the usual foundation pack. In this example, we're showing how to cable up a pair of Brocade (Ruckus) ICX7250-24 switches in a very typical configuration. With this, it's fairly easy to mark what ports will be assigned to what VLANs. I like to do this by creating a table showing all the ports, label their external port numbers and logical numbers and then write in what will be plugged into each port. In this tutorial, we need to allocate all ports for use by other equipment.īefore you start, you need to decide how you want to assign physical ports on your switches to VLAN IDs. If you want to improve security, you can leave all unused ports on VID 1. Traffic from one VLAN segment can not reach ports allocated to another VLAN, providing a useful layer of security.īy default, all ports default to VID 1. VLANs provide a way of dividing up a switch (or stack of switches) into multiple, isolated switches (this is actually somewhat simplistic, but it gets the idea across). To upload the firmware, we need to copy the image to the root of our TFTP server ( /var/lib/tftpboot/ on EL6).īrowse into the extracted 07300j/ICX/Images/ directory (or the matching directory for your firmware).



If one had been 7.4, for example, then we would have upgraded both to the latest 7.4 version. Both switches are 7.3, so that is what we will use. Being that we're interested in High Availability, we are going to be conservative and upgrade to the latest subversion available. Note that both switches are running the major version 07.3.00f. The following switches (and firmwares) have been validates to work with the Anvil!:Ĭompressed Pri Code size = 5370497, Version:07.3.00fT7f1 (/foundry/FGS/os/FCXS07300f.bin)Ĭompressed Sec Code size = 6905002, Version:07.3.00fT7f3 (/foundry/FGS/os/FCXR07300f.bin)Ĭompressed Boot-Monitor Image size = 370555, Version:07.3.02T7f5Ĭompressed Pri Code size = 5370497, Version 07.3.00fT7f1 (/foundry/FGS/os/FCXS07300f.bin)Ĭompressed Sec Code size = 6905002, Version 07.3.00fT7f3 (/foundry/FGS/os/FCXR07300f.bin)Ĭompressed Boot-Monitor Image size = 370555, Version 07.3.02T7f5
