Hi,

  There is no adequate switch ports for servers(China local servers) in PEK1, So I'm going to deploy a new switch(Cisco ws-c2960x-48ts-l) in PEK1. Which ports should i connect the new switch to the firewall(fw1a.pek1 and fw1b.pek1)?

Thanks.

jxia I'll take a look at this between 12/23 and 12/24.  Can you let me know what model of cisco switch is currently in use.  Please also confirm you are renewing support on the existing equipment.

The model of cisco switch we using in PEK1 is 2960 with 24 ports, and it will be replace by the new switch(Cisco ws-c2960x-48ts-l, has 1 year support), So I do not intend to renewing support on it.

Hi,
   Has there been any progress on this? I went to PEK1 yesterday and saw that the switch we currently using is connect to core1-0.pek1 and core1-1.pek1.

Just confirming but you are using the following ports for the uplinks:

ge-0/0/8.0              up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-0/0/9.0              up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-0/0/10.0             up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-0/0/11.0             up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-1/0/8.0              up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-1/0/9.0              up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-1/0/10.0             up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0
ge-1/0/11.0             up    up   aenet    --> ae1.0

on the existing switches (core)

ge-0/0/{8.0-11.0} and ge-1/0/{8.0-11.0} is connect to HP blade server C7000 which is not managed by Beijing office . The switch(Cisco 2960G)we using for china server is connect to core1-0.pek1(port 46) and core1-1.pek1(port 46).Can I connect the new switch to core1-0.pek1(port 45) and core1-1.pek1(port 45)?
