Note: VLAN interface must be created on the bridge interface since it is the only interface that will be able to communicate the CPU.įor this guide we are going to use these addresses for each device:Īdd an IP address for each device on the VLAN interface (change X to appropriate number):Īdd address=192.168.99.X/24 interface=MGMTĭon't forget to add the default gateway and specify a DNS server:Īdd address=192.168.99.1/24 interface=MGMTĮnable ingress traffic filtering for more security, use these commands on SwitchA, SwitchB and SwitchC:

In our case the Router needs a software based bonding interface, use these commands on Router:Īdd mode=802.3ad name=bond_1-2-3-4 slaves=sfp-sfpplus1,sfp-sfpplus2,sfp-sfpplus3,sfp-sfpplus4 Use these commands on SwitchA and SwitchB:Īdd bridge=bridge interface=bond_1-2 hw=yesĪdd all bonding interfaces to a single bridge on SwitchB by using these commands on SwitchB:Īdd bridge=bridge interface=bond_3-4 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=bond_5-6-7-8 hw=yes When all the bonding interfaces are create, they must be added as a bridge port. To create a 40Gbps bonding interface between SwitchB and the Router and 20Gbps bonding interfaces between SwitchA and SwitchC, use these commands on SwitchB:Īdd mode=802.3ad name=bond_3-4 slaves=sfp-sfpplus3,sfp-sfpplus4Īdd mode=802.3ad name=bond_5-6-7-8 slaves=sfp-sfpplus5,sfp-sfpplus6,sfp-sfpplus7,sfp-sfpplus8 To create a 20Gbps bonding interface from sfp-sfpplus1 and sfp-sfpplus2 between SwitchA to SwitchB and between SwitchC to SwitchB, use these commands on SwitchA and SwitchC:Īdd mode=802.3ad name=bond_1-2 slaves=sfp-sfpplus1,sfp-sfpplus2

Note: CRS3xx series switches aggregate traffic using the built-in Switch Chip without using CPU resources, to route the traffic a router with a powerful CPU is required to handle the aggregated traffic. Use these commands on SwitchA and SwitchC:Īdd bridge=bridge interface=ether1 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether2 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether3 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether4 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether5 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether6 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether7 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether8 pvid=10 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether9 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether10 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether11 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether12 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether13 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether14 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether15 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether16 pvid=20 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether17 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether18 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether19 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether20 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether21 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether22 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether23 pvid=30 hw=yesĪdd bridge=bridge interface=ether24 pvid=30 hw=yes

SFP+ ports in this setup are going to be used as VLAN trunk ports while being in a bond to create a LAG interface.Īll switches in this setup require that all used ports are switched together (except for ports that are going to be part of a bonding interface). Management will only be possible if user is connecting with tagged traffic with VLAN ID 99 from ether1 on SwitchA or SwitchB, connecting to all devices will also be possible from the router using tagged traffic with VLAN ID 99.

In this setup SwitchA and SwitchC will tag all traffic from ports ether1-ether8 to VLAN ID 10, ether9-ether16 to VLAN ID 20, ether17-ether24 to VLAN ID 30. Note: For this network topology we will be using two CRS326-24G-2S+, one CRS317-1G-16S+ and one CCR1072-1G-8S+, but same principles can be applied to any CRS3xx series devices and a router.
