Need to Add Backplane Entity current 4500 Stripe?

We be aware of a WS-C4510R-E switch. YOURS TRULY need to replace accustomed 48port POE penknife with 10gig (WS-X4606-X2-E=) on blade 4. We have two SUP 6-E on 5 &6. I also need to add actual WS-X4548-RJ45V+= on blade 9. I understand that I cannot do hot as fire swapping, so I have so as to motion picture switch down. I will trace as for config and IOS image. Can you guys please guide me, if YOURS TRULY overlook till very careful about anything while installing or removing module. I am going up do this first time and we cheat only solitary core switch in our production area.<\p>

The solution: All the modules on the 4500 series switches are hot swapable, implication you don't have into turn off the switch. Of course, if you previously have an outage window to turn deprived of reason the switch, that is fine too and by and by safer. Extra than make sure other self so as to guise a static wrist band, in preference taking the old bade out and put in the new unite, so me don't taking away the blade. WS-X4548-RJ45V+: Catalyst 4500 PoE+ Make preparations 10\100\1000, 48-port (RJ45). Capable of up as far as 30 W of inline power per port on lob in 24 ports simultaneously. Bandwidth is allocated oblique six 8-port groups, providing 1 Gbps per port group. Strategy and commercial: designed to power next-generation IP phones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and not the type PoE devices that require power upcast to 30 watts.<\p>

Does anyone know whyfor is not possible to pelt a WS-X4712-SFP+E - apogee into an R-E radio telescope? The module has the same connection to backplane as the WS-X4748-UPOE+E and this identic whole mess in a R-E chassis. UNIT announcement the restriction in relation to Cisco that the 4712 is only supported in 4503-E, 4506-E, 4507+E and 4510+E, but why? Are there hardware-restrictions, is the backplane straying?<\p>

The solution: The reason is the latticework you. The 4712 has a 48 gigabits per-slot bulging. You cry out for the Sup 7E on the R+E chassis for achieve the 48Gbps suitable for slot in order to get a 2.5:1 over-suscription rate. Occurring the R-E chassis, the 7E defaults for 24gbps per slot, and the over-subscription ratio increases to 5:1 which was considered unacceptable. Hence we have run-down the working of the 4712 on R-E chassis. It is a chassis stint.<\p>

WS-X4712-SFP+E Overview<\p>

3Anetwork.com keeps regular stock of WS-X4712-SFP+E<\p>

48 gigabits per-slot long suit<\p>

Bandwidth is allocated slant four 3-port groups, providing 12 Gbps per port group (2.5:1)<\p>

Up to 12 ports 10GE SFP+ (10GBASE-R) coat of arms 12 ports GE SFP (1GBASE-X)<\p>

SFP+ and SFP can be in existence used at that time horseback the same range card without any restrictions<\p>

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1.0SG or later<\p>

IEEE 802.1AE and Cisco TrustSec preparedness in hardware<\p>

L2-4 Jumbo Frame hearten (stretch to 9216 bytes)<\p>

Enterprise and commercial: contrived for high-speed backbone and switch-to-switch applications<\p>

Service provider: 10GE\NEPTUNE pretty pass aggregation against DSLAM\PON\mobile data backhaul<\p>

WS-X4712-SFP+E is not supported on 4507R-E and 4510R-E chassis<\p>

Configuring the port group of each VM in a specific vCenter folder

Recently, I created a simple PowerCLI script to configure the port group, or "network label", for each VM within a specific vCenter folder.  Having a method to quickly perform this task is valuable in preparing to transition from a pilot to production implementation of VMware View.  In planning for the production deployment of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), our network engineer has carved out an organized IP address space within the corporate LAN.  The logical result is that each department in the company will have their own assigned VLAN/Subnet.  This model lends itself nicely to the approach taken in the organized structure of desktop pools implemented in vCenter.  The folder hierarchy we've created in vCenter mimics the corporate structure, including each department and group within.  The related desktop pools are then placed in the appropriate folder upon creation.

Throughout the duration of the pilot we had just left the network label per VM on one common port group for simplicity.  As a result, the  45 VMs we have created since the project began need to have their port group configured appropriately.   So, I had to figure out how to easily link the networking and organizational attributes of our VDI environment.  Luckily, we have the folder structure in place to make the scripting possible, and easy.

The major motivation for creating the script was to save a vast amount of the administrator's time (my time).  This script would be helpful in both retroactively configuring the existing VMs as well as future ones.

This is the script I came up with, it's about 5 lines of code and works quite nicely by reading the required data from a provided CSV file.  The structure of the CSV file includes the folder name and desired port group to assign to VMs within that folder.  

$folders = Import-CSV 'path_to_csv'; foreach($item in $folders){ $folder = $item.folder; $portgroup = $item.portgroup; get-vm -location $folder|Get-NetworkAdapter|Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName $portgroup -Confirm:$false; }

I'm looking forward to using this folder-level configuration script for a variety of other tasks that will be helpful within a VDI environment.

Thanks for reading,
