7.9 Configuration for Extreme switches
The configuration in Example 7-42 is from one of a pair of Extreme switches which we tested
in place of the Cisco Core switches. The Extreme switches had a subset of the functionality of
the GbESM switch modules, so our testing was limited. We were able to successfully test the
following:
򐂰 VLAN tagging using 802.1Q
򐂰 Link aggregation (trunking) with static trunks; the Extreme switch did not support LACP.
򐂰 RIP
Testing of the different variations of Spanning Tree Protocol was only partially successful.
This is due to some limitations of the Extreme switch’s functionality as well as certain
proprietary enhancements to the standards which the GbESM did not support. We were able
to configure OSPF but not test it because an additional license which we did not have was
required to enable this function.
Note that certain default configuration text was removed from the below due to extreme
length. This test was present when we reset the switch to its factory defaults.
