Switch 4120

[Jose_Chaves]

Hi,

Need help putting a 4120 on the network.

I have EXOS connected via FA and need to install a 4120, but I don't have all the commands to do like a normal Exos.

Regards,

Hi,

After some more debugs I find out that the problem was in the Spanning-tree.
After onboarding the switch, the XIQ-SE configures the switch port using the Port template “Interswitch”, that has “loop protection” enable. I have disabled the “loop protection” in the “Interswitch” template and it is working.
The strange thing is that it has worked before and I didn’t change anything in the config, just do a “unconfigure switch all” to repeat the process and make sure that everything was working.
Is this the template that was supposed to be applied to a port when a VSP is connected to a EXOS via Fabric Attached?
The config that I have in the VSP porti is:
interface GigabitEthernet 1/10
encapsulation dot1q
exit

interface GigabitEthernet 1/10
default-vlan-id 0
no shutdown
no spanning-tree mstp force-port-state enable
fa
fa enable
no fa message-authentication
fa management i-sid 20010 c-vid 101
exit

I can’t have the port configured whit Auto-Sense because the I have several floors in the building connected to the VSP and each floor was its management i-sid.

The final idea is to have LAG in the uplink ports connected to the VSP, but I still struggling whit that, can anyone also help in this point?

Best regards,
Jose Chaves

Hi,

To create LAG you need to add VSP switch ports to MTL group and just apply FA config to created MLT.

mlt 1
mlt 1 name "MLT_TO_EXOS"
mlt 1 mem 1/10, ... //and other LAG members 
mlt 1 encap dot1q
interface mlt 1
  fa enable
  no fa message-authentication
  fa managemet i-sid 20010 c-vid 101
exit

FA will do the rest with your EXOS

I’m trying to onboard on a XIQ-SE.

The switch is getting IP and connecting to the XIQ-SE.

Then the XIQ-SE configures the switch profile (username, password, SNMP, etc.) and I lose connectivity to the switch. 

The switch creates the VLAN were we first got the IP (in this case 101) but does not request the i-sid for it via FA.

The config that I have on the VSP port is:

interface GigabitEthernet 1/10

    default-vlan-id 0

    no shutdown

    no spanning-tree mstp  force-port-state enable

    fa

    fa enable

    no fa message-authentication

    fa management i-sid 20010 c-vid 101

    exit

On the XIQ-SE, I have the site created. On that site I have the “ZTP+ Device Defaults” configured with:

Basic Management:

Use Discovered: IP and Management Interface

NTP Server: x.x.x.x

Admin Profile: Lab_Profile

Configuration/Upgrade:

Configuration Updates: Always

Firmware Updates: Never (I have also tried with Always)

Device Protocols/Features:

All enable except LACP, MVRP, VXLAN and DVR Leaf

Global IP to Site Mapping:

I have the range for the IP of the switch.

The switch version is the 33.2.1.12 and the XIQ-SE is the 24.10.

Is there something missing?

Hi,

The 4000 Series are ExtremeCloud IQ managed Layer 2 switches. As far as I know you should onboard your switch to ExtremeCloud IQ first (one switch requires one XIQ Pilot license):

1. Add device SN to your XIQ account devices list.
2. Make sure your switch is able to obtain IP address with valid DNS setup and is able to connect to XIQ.

I believe XIQ onboarding is prerequisite to manage your switch
