How to deploy the Dell M8024 family of switches in a Cisco Nexus network

Scenario 3: Configuring multiple VLANs per internal port to connect to a server NIC with
tagging enabled
In this section, we provide an overview of configuring multiple VLANs
per internal port to connect to a server NIC with VLAN tagging
enabled, which is useful for management of VMs. We provide
detailed instructions in Appendix A.
1. On the Dell PowerConnect M8024 switch, enter the Internal Port
VLAN configuration screen, select a port, and add several tagged
VLANs (we changed port 1/xg1 to include VLANs 101-104).
2. On the Cisco Nexus 5010 switches, create a four-port channel
group with LACP and Trunking (VLAN tagging) enabled.
3. Allow VLANs 101-104 through the new port channel.
4. Connect the cables from the ports of the port channel group to
the Dell PowerConnect M8024 switch. The Dell PowerConnect
M8024 switch will automatically make a four-port LAG with VLAN
tagging enabled. From now on, you can modify VM
communications so that you can tag them to various VLANs.
