Migrating Cisco switch in R4-PA-C02 to the dell switch in R4-PA-C02 #57
Conversation

vlan interface 127 is the neu public network, are we directly going to migrate that to the firewall or do we want to configure this dell switch? |
|
it looks like both of the cisco switches connect to NEU switches (see port 48 and/or check lldp neighbors). Although I am not sure which one actually brings us vlan 127 (1 or both). |

@naved001 you're right. Dell os9 supports OSPF so I think we should plan to move these links to the dell switches in the rack. I will need to figure out what the config should look like on the dells and then we can disconnect one of them without downtime because they are a VRRP pair, we'll then have the dell switch join the VRRP pair and then remove the other one. If we plan this out we should be able to do it with no downtime, and a pretty easy fallback plan of just plugging it back into the Ciscos |

@hakasapl do we need to keep NEU in loop for this switch or it doesn't matter to them what we have on our end? |
We should let them know what we plan to do and when but they shouldn't need to be involved in the actual operation, it should be all on our end |
|
@hakasapl do we have a date we plan to merge this? |
|
We are still in talks with NEU about this so this should stay open for now |
|
I'm going to merge this, we will apply the easy config on the dells and deal with NEU connection later |
This is copying the switch config that is on the existing cisco into our yaml format. Let me know if anything looks off. There's a bunch of settings for native vlans in the trunk. This config doesn't preserve that but as long as the port is tagging on the other end that shouldn't be an issue. That's something I'll add later. Here is the config from the cisco switch:
I didn't copy the configs for the vlan interfaces yet - let me know which of those are still needed. I also only copied the interface configs for the interfaces that are currently up
