Dell 2724 Switches - Low End Vs Mid-range Switch
Apr 27, 2013
whether or nor we would see a performance boost by upgrading our current switches.
Our Setup:
Comcast internet
2 x Dell 2724 switches connected together with a patch cord
Dell server with 6 core CPU
We have about 25 workstations that access the server, which is running a SQL database. The usage is pretty light, so probably only 2 or 3 users would even be active at one time.
We added several networked printers and we ran out of ports on the current 2 switches. So now we need to add in a third Dell 2724, or we were thinking about upgrading to something like a Dell 5548 plus a Dell 5524 or a few Cisco SG300.
I don't think we need any of the advanced features of these switches, but in simple terms, will we recognize a real world performance boost from upgrading?

I have currently a Dell powerconnect 6248 switch combined with a netgear UTM router. I have a basic understanding on how things should work but I don't have the knowledge to apply it as I'm new to setting up vlan and the person before me did the basic configuration like this:
defined 5 VLAN in the netgear router
defined the same 5 VLAN in the dell 6248
connected the dell switch to the netgear router via a trunk port.
Right now all the inter vlan traffic pass thru the netgear router as the dell switch as a trunk port connected to the netgear box who then give dhcp and set himself as the default inter vlan route. I would like to stop that since I would like the cisco switch to handle all the vlan routing for both switch and those switch to send their dhcp request to my win2k8 server.
I did set the sge2010 in layer 3 mode from the small business telnet interface. I then setup the same 5 vlan in the cisco switch.
If I understand this well I need to define an IP address for each vlan interface on the cisco switch for it to be able to route things, I have set them all as x.x.x.3 (x.x1.3 vlan 1, x.x.2.3 vlan2, etc) Then I need both swtich to forward all dhcp request to my dhcp box wich is in vlan 2. My DHCP server will have 5 range of IP address to hand out. my server are connected directly to the dell switch on vlan 2. I have set up a port in the dell switch in trunk mode and did the same thing in the cisco switch and connected them togheter to send all vlan packet. The current setup doesn't work so I need to finalize that setup so that everything works.

I have no previous Cisco switch experience. I just received a brand new SG200-08 switch. It replaces a small blue Trendnet 5 port switch. I configured the SG200-08 with a static IP address which is on the same subnet as all our wired devices, then I installed it and connected a computer and printer and another switch to it. The other switch is a Dell PowerConnect 2716. I suddenly have no network connectivity with the router any longer. When I plug the network cable that runs from the PowerConnect 2716 into the SG200-08, the link status light will not go on for that port. I am going to be replacing the Dell PowerConnect with a Cisco switch as well, the SG300-10.

I have to be near my router to pick up a signal. Once I leave the room I lose connectivity. I've updated the newest drivers and the problem remains. I've read about many others having the same problem with this model.

I have a Buffalo NAS with IP address 192.168.1.30 linked to my router, which has IP address 192.168.2.1. Both have the same subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.DHCP on the router assigns IP's to my computers on the network (192.168.1.xxx). How do I access my NAS?

We setup about 5 MAC based VLAN groups with about 40 MACs total and now we are getting "There are no resources for this range.." when we try to add more MACs or try to assign them to the port/VLAN "MAC-Based Groups to VLAN". We tried to reboot and use the CLI, same error. Is there some undocumented small limit on the MAC based VLAN groups?

The inbuilt wifi card on my 1521 laptop has lost it's range, I now have to be within a few feet of my BT hub or else the wifi signal keeps dropping out, have checked it not the hub by connecting another PC through wifi. I've taken various numbers from the original card but none of them matches up with the part No's on the Dell website, of the three numbers on the card I think the Dell P/No is DP-N OPC559.

I have a supplier which i need to connect a site to site ipsec vpn connection to (from a draytek router). I have already done this on our main site with no problems using the local ip details of 192.168.1.0 and subnet 255.255.255.0 however i need to do the same on our DR site which uses the ip details of 10.1.0.0 and subnet of 255.255.0.0. Our supplier told me the 255.255.0.0 is already used at there end by a different customer so we are unable to connect the vpn and communicate (in theroy we can connect but our supplier cannot reply). We can setup a connection to another spare server on a different address using a different subnet but effectivly this would mean that communication would stop at that server and communcation to the overall network or specific server the supplier needs access to (on the 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 network) is not possible. I was thinking maybe an internal vpn server to server connection through win server may do it, 2 nic cards or routes in the server routing table but this all seems a bit messy. Our network consits of win 2003 and 2008 R2 servers and is basic network with modem-vpnfirewall-switch and devices on the internal network connecting to the switch.

So Basically I have the dell d810 and the wireless on it is less than 20 ft and I cant figure out why.. My other dell laptop has perfect connection all the way down stairs and this d810 doesn't even get full connection from 10 feet away!!! I have tried to take out the wireless card and put it back in but that didn't work so I am just wandering if it is a driver issue or the wireless card is just screwed up.

I share my internet with other gadgets via an ad hoc WiFi network via my laptop running Windows 7 Home premium. The range covered is extremely bad. At as less as 10 meters away, in an open hall, from the laptop sitting on my home office desk the signal is weak - it shifts between zero and one "curve" on network notification icon on my gadgets.The signal is non existent in the floor immediately below. (The floor is made of reinforced concrete.)

Is it possible to enable an absolute value rate limit using QOS on a HP ProCurve 5406 switch for a particular IP range on a specific port? Is there a way to configure our HP 5406 with an absolute rate limit on "WAN" port for that server's IP range? I would like to limit it to only being capable of sending 1Mbps worth of traffic over the head end at once.Everything in the documentation points towards priority queues, which as far as I can tell, isn't really what I want.Baring accomplishing this goal using rate limiting is there a better way to prevent our services from accidentally saturating this connection?i thimkong about somthing like that:
class ipv4 rate-limit-port-A1
match ip 10.136.0.0/16 any
exit
policy qos port-a1-ratelimit
class servers-to-be-slowed action rate-limit kbps 1000
exit
interface A1 service-policy port-a1-ratelimit inI'm not sure about this.

I have a 300 series switch with VLAN1 untagged, VLAN 15,5,100 tagged. I want say ports 1-12 to use one uplink/trunk and 13-24 to use another uplink. All ports should have the same default VLAN1 and be tagged for 5,15,100. I'm trying to ease the load on two wireless uplinks(one is a Cisco 1242AG and the other is a UBNT PowerBridge.) I don't want to add another switch. Model: SF 300-24P

I can telnet to switch from checkpoint firewall access port and from switch directly. I can ping/traceroute successfully to the switch. Access-lists 14 & 15 are allowing the traffic I want. The router on the other side of the FW has 2 static routes and a default static route set up.
Here is some of the config from my switch:service tcp-keepalives-in
service tcp-keepalives-out
service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime show-timezone
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime show-timezone
service password-encryptionhostname xxxxx
enable secret xxxxxx
username xxxxxxxx password xxxxxxxip domain-name xx.xx.netaaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local enable line none[code].....
Not sure of checkpoint firewall config....I have run wireshark when trying to telnet and I get no syn-ack back from remote switch. Just 3 consecutive syn attempts.I have some switches I can connect to and they go right through the 3 way TCP handshake and I cannot find any differences in the configs between the successful connections and the unsuccessful connections.

I have a question, does the SG300-28 support VTP and STP?. I want to add it to my network's VTP domain so I don't have to manage vlans manually on the SG300-28 and also be able to configure STP to keep my network loop free.

For test I used 2 Switch that name "ESW X" and "ESW Y" I have 2 network that I named "Network A" and "Network B" I build 2 VLAN for each network that named Vlan 2 for Network A and Vlan 3 for Network B, I don't use Vlan 1 because it's the default Vlan
Configuration ESW X:
port e1 : ACCESS PORT on UNTTAGGED Vlan 2
port e2 : ACCESS PORT on UNTTAGGED Vlan 2
port e3 : ACCESS PORT on UNTTAGGED Vlan 3
port e4 : ACCESS PORT on UNTTAGGED Vlan 3
port g3 : TRUNK PORT with UNTTAGGED Vlan 1(default) and TAGGED Vlan 2 and Vlan 3
[code]....
Each Vlan can't communicate between the two switch, I think they're a problem in my vlan/port configuration?

I would like to configure a switch to act like a Hub. I know about the mirroring port configuration, but unfortunately is not enough for me. Is it possible to do that with the switch that I have (i.e. SG 200-08) ? If not do you know a switch on which I can configure it like a hub (that mean no flow control between physical ports).

Have deployed a few of these - and am truly frustrated that I cannot see then in the topolgy, let alone actually manage them. Why such a ubiquitous switch is not supported.
Even the SmartPort utility is useless - CCA (3.3.1 and earlier) gives an error saying a port is incorrectly configured (I pluggged it into an exp port on the UC560 as I gave up trying to get a working uplink to an ESW-540-24P).
The Smartport port function wants the exp port (on the UC560) to be configured as a "Phone/Desktop" - if I try to change it to a "switch", it refuses to accept it saying the "Macro is unsuitable - or similar"

I am trying to setup an ACL on SG 300 switch. I want to create an ACL that enables hosts on our guest network to obtain IP addresses from a server on our "internal" network but they should not be able to reach any other resorses on that network. I set it up as follow, but it does not work the way i want. I have also bind interfaces to the ACL.

I have an inspiron 1545 that had to be resurrected after a crash. The WiFi worked before I re-loaded windows from the recovery disc, The radio switch indicates it is on but it doesn't seem to find any signals. I am running windows vista sp-2. I am using version mifi2200. If I am overlooking the way to make the WiFi work by getting into a program and having to turn something on or adjusting a setting i am unaware of what to do.
