Sanbox Switch

Each two-node sanbox has a 16 port Netgear GS716T Gigabit Smart Switch with the FQDN of sw-sbXX.orbit-lab.org (where XX is sanbox number 01-09). FOr each of the switches ports 1-4 are reserved for CM subnet, ports 5-8 for sanbox control subnet while ports 9-12 are reserved for sanbox data subnet. Ports 13-15 are assigned to network managemtn while port 16 is, as in the case of other Orbit switches, us uplink trunk.

Switch Configuration

Most important part of the confration are the two tables dealing with VLANs so that if you check the switch status it shows something like this for sanbox 1 (sw-sb01):

IEEE 802.1Q PVID Table

Port	PVID	Port	PVID	Port	PVID	Port	PVID
01	3	02	3	03	3	04	3
05	11	06	11	07	11	08	11
09	12	10	12	11	12	12	12
13	1	14	1	15	1	16	1

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Settings

VLAN ID	Member Port
	01	02	03	04	05	06	07	08	09	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
1						U U U U
3	U	U	U	U												T T T T
11					U	U	U	U					T	T	T	T
12	U U U U T T T T

Configuration is done under the VLAN entry.

Note: the upstream switch has to have untagged port for SmartWizard to even see the unconfigured switch. Once new switch is configured (mainly trunk ports) the upstream switches port should be configured so that it provides propper trunking.
