Re: GbE2 Switch configuration
Networks (VLANs) for server grouping and isolation.
The GbE2 Interconnect Switches ship with a default configuration in which all ports are enabled and assigned a
default VLAN with a VLAN ID (VID) equal to 1.

VLAN configuration interface can be seen on;

Re: GbE2 Switch configuration
Thanks for feedback. Actually I'm running Blade C. Have been throught the guides and I believe VLAN is the solution..now my question is if I have 2 VLANs..Say VLAN1 for ports 1,2,21,22 and VLAN2 for ports 3,4,23,24 do I need to include 17/18 in both VLANs also?

Ports 17 and 18 are the interconnects between both switches, and they come disabled by default. Enabling them allows one switch to access the NICs that are physically connected to the other switch.

Re: GbE2 Switch configuration
I vaguely remember hearing something about network congestion potentially occuring, based on this setup. I need to enable these ports to allow the switches to speak to each, to allow a redundant configuration to work. On each blade, i have 2 onboard nic ports configured with bonding (teaming on windows). My bond config is active-passive, so if primary interface goes down, secondary (i.e. via the 2nd switch) will come up.
Will I need to use something to control rebroadcasting of traffic, like STP or similar if I enable these ports?
