This document provides quick reference guidance in key areas for configuring or integrating the Dell PowerConnect 8100 series switches with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series. The most critical aspects and differences with deploying - Dell PowerConnect 8100 | PowerConnect_8100_interoperability_with_Cisco_Catalyst - Page 5
for easier management, better security, and improved administration. Creating and assigning VLANs Creating VLANs on the Dell PowerConnect 8100 is simple and exactly the same on the Cisco Catalyst WS-C6504-E. Both switches have the VLAN xx command available to manually create a VLAN and both create - Dell PowerConnect 8100 | PowerConnect_8100_interoperability_with_Cisco_Catalyst - Page 6
not for user traffic, just like the management VLAN on the Dell switch. Figure 5 shows the basic topology of a management VLAN that is configured in this example: creating and then connecting a management VLAN and an SVI. Management VLAN across a Dell PowerConnect 8100 Figure 5. Both switches use - Dell PowerConnect 8100 | PowerConnect_8100_interoperability_with_Cisco_Catalyst - Page 7

are essentially the same for both switches and are found in the Dell PowerConnect 8100 User Configuration Guide. Access, trunk and general Switchport Modes The Dell PowerConnect 8100 series switches can have each port configured in one of the following modes (Dell.com, 2012): Access Access ports - Dell PowerConnect 8100 | PowerConnect_8100_interoperability_with_Cisco_Catalyst - Page 9

The only note to remember is that the Cisco switches support a proprietary form of LAGs with the PaGP feature that the Dell PowerConnect switch does not support.

the User Guides for your devices on how to set up MST. Cisco proprietary protocols Network administrators often run into problems receiving multiple Cisco proprietary protocols on standards based switches, which causes unexpected results on the network. Therefore, Dell PowerConnect has developed - Dell PowerConnect 8100 | PowerConnect_8100_interoperability_with_Cisco_Catalyst - Page 17
