EdgeSwitch Setup Guide 2

hi I'm Willie and welcome back to my channel welcome to part 2 of our edge switch setup so let's get right into it if you remember in the last video we enabled SSH and also SSL and we're going to go ahead and login with our non ub NT user that we created in the last video once our interface loads I'll have a little bit of information you also remember we put the system name the system location and the contact in now the first thing that we're gonna do here is we are gonna put a we're gonna put static IP address on and then we're going to talk about VLANs so that's the the purpose of tonight's video first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna open a command prompt and we're gonna ping 192 that wants to see that 66 6 and I thought that one was probably in the free and clear so we're gonna go to system connectivity IP version 4 and right here you can see under network configuration protocol it is set the DHCP so what we're gonna do is we're gonna click none and it says changing protocol mode will reset IP configuration perfect that's what we want we're gonna click OK we're gonna come over here put in dot 6 we only have to backspace part of that because it will autofill whatever your DHCP address was so our subnet mask and our gateway are correct and then when we start doing VLAN routing and things like that we'll talk about this management VLAN ID and about how that that's all gonna work so right now the first thing we're going to do is we're gonna go ahead and submit this and what should happen is we should kinda lose communication with it because it's no longer on 49 and the switch actually unlike the arrow s devices the edgemax device doesn't redirect you to the new IP so we're gonna take that out we're gonna put six in and you're gonna see we're going to be prompted with our interface now if we were to reboot this switch at this point we would lose this IP address changing it would go back to DHCP because we haven't saved the configuration yet so you're gonna want to make sure that you save that configuration I'll tell you what I don't know how many of you have upgraded a 1.7.1 but I think it is a lot snappier than the other releases and maybe it's just a placebo effect I'm not I'm not a hundred percent sure so let's take a look at VLANs and how the edge switch handles VLANs versus how unified handles VLANs and we are going to tackle all of the different VLANs tonight we're going to start with just kind of a basic VLAN primer you will notice if you were on some of the older releases that there are some new things like the Mac based VLAN private VLAN does not new voice VLAN does not new but we'll talk about how to use those but the first thing we want to do is we want to go into VLAN the very first tab that comes up under VLAN is wizard and from here oh you can see that I actually already have that's funny I actually already have some VLANs in here I must have been working with somebody so I'm just gonna delete these real quick and then we'll talk about this now they do have a trunk port wizard but we can manually also emulate the settings that a trunk port uses now what I like about the edge switch of vs. that unifies which is that on an edge switch not every port is a trump port by default effectively with a unify switch in its current current release everything is or every switch port is is a trunk port it tags everything except for the native unless you go in and you change that set up the edge switch does it what I would consider to be in a more traditional fashion where it does not do that you have the the untagged VLAN that's your default VLAN and then everything else you have to tell it how to participate or work with the pork I also like that you can change a names you can't change the name for VLAN one it's stuck on default I don't know if we could change that through the command prompt or not I don't know maybe we will experiment with that but here if we want to create five VLANs we could do two through five and click Add or we could do two three four five it'll work either way and to give you an idea that let's do this two through five and then six through ten let's see if that works so we'll click Add so you can see that that worked and then we'll do and we're not going to use all these VLANs and our training but I just want to see if this works so with you 11 12 13 and then we'll do we'll skip we'll go 18 through 21 so now we're using both both ways that you can group VLANs so let's see what happens I'm betting that it's going to recognize it I mean so we're only displaying 10 rows will display all and we'll see what we have here so see hmm interesting okay well play around with that that but that's interesting so I'm going to delete everything but 2 & 3 and of course the default so we've highlighted those we'll click remove and we will name these so V lien 2 is gonna be our voice VLAN and VLAN 3 will be our video VLAN go ahead and submit that and then we'll save it yes we want to save all right so what I was talking about so you've got your default VLAN on all of the port's as untagged and then if you look when we first created all these VLANs these are exempted except they're tagged here because port 26 is set as a trunk port so what a trunk port does is it just tags the VLANs so and then you have default VLAN as untagged so we could turn this off and we can actually we could exempt VLAN 2 from the trunk so if you wanted to isolate VLAN 2 traffic just to this switch you would do that you wouldn't allow it to flow through any of the up links to any other switches or to a router and you would isolate that VLAN because now there's nothing to route that traffic we're not going to do that but it's important that you know that you don't think we have any changes there so if we go over to the status tab this just kind of gives us a little bit more information we can click on one of these VLANs click Edit and we're gonna see the voice the type convert VLAN to type static it's already a static and then VLAN routing so now you're looking at that in your own hmm so yes when we start doing VLAN routing we're gonna come in here and we're gonna click this radial button that will enable VLAN routing there's another place we have to enable routing on the switch overall we have to enable IP routing we're not gonna do that tonight I know you're itching to get to that but let's build up to that so we understand what the VLANs are and how that works so now we can come over here to port configuration now what should happen when you're using this wizard and why I say should is because I've seen it not happen this way what should happen is if here's an example we're going to use port 6 as an example because I don't think I've got anything you know I have anything plugged into port 6 so we're gonna exempt the default VLAN we are going to make voice the untagged VLAN so now that port is a member of that VLAN so we're gonna submit this and what I've seen happen before is that this wizard didn't communicate those changes properly and so nothing worked everything was still in the default VLAN so now we'll go over here to port configuration and if we go to 6 alright so up here is our VLAN number right 6 VLAN 1 is excluded it's excluded from participating so now if we go to VLAN 2 port 6 2 is included it's in it's participating and it is on tags let's go over here so this untagged VLAN for the port to work properly so when I plug a machine into that into that port for it to communicate properly on that network layer 2 and layer 3 the port VLAN ID and the untagged VLAN ID have to be VLAN number 2 unless whatever I'm plugging in there is tagging well we're talking about just plugging in a workstation that's not doing tagging if I want something on VLAN 2 and I wanted to get proper IP addressing and proper communication the port VLAN ID and the untag VLAN ID have to be 2 but back on port configuration what I like to do is come in here and I like the document document document and you can see that's not there what we want to add the system basic port summary come in here to port 6 and edit this and we can do a couple things here say this is Lily's test port and if your if you want to physically shut the port off which is a good security practice the admin mode if we click disable is actually going to turn that port off we can change our our speed and duplex I suggest you leave that on auto negotiate unless a vendor for some reason tells you not to our spanning tree mode our link aggregation mode our link trap flow control our frame size so if you needed to do jumbo frames this is where you would configure that and then all about our storm recovery levels here so I'm actually not going to disable that port but I am going to call that Willy's test port up and did not like the apostrophe in Willy's test port so we're going to go ahead and save that and that's where we're gonna wrap this video for now and then when we come back we're going to get into some of the other stuff with VLANs lags port mirroring things like that and there is one other screen that we are going to talk about I'm gonna go to it in case I don't get it all clipped out where I was talking about it a minute ago but is this switch port summary screen so we'll get into this next time - so that's where we're at tonight get in there play around with your VLANs do the tagging untagging you know said natives on a port and really play with it and break it you know this is why we have a lab figure out how these things work so if you like this video please give me a thumbs up please subscribe please comment and share please follow me on Twitter and Instagram if you'd like to get your very own edge twitch I'm gonna put those Amazon affiliate links down there in the description it doesn't change your price but it keeps a few bucks rolling in so we can keep doing these videos I appreciate everyone being here then we'll see you in the next video
