Master Switch Upgraded

September 9th, 2008

I’ve upgraded the main switch in my server closet to the Cisco 48 port that I had laying around (I’ll finally get some use out of it now). I wanted to use VLANs so that I could have both internet facing and local networks separate if I wanted to, as well as possible VLANs for wireless network traffic. The website was down for about 3 minutes while I made the switch. This is actually one of the smoothest upgrades I’ve had in a long time. I setup all of the settings on the Cisco switch while I was at my desktop, shutdown the switch, carried it to my server closet, powered of the old one, slid it out and then slid the Cisco in. After plugging all of the cables in I was back in business. I’ll post a video of my current network if I get around to it.
