Yes provided the Dell switch has a Gigabit port on it. - For the Cisco side you would need a WS-G5484 Gbic with a SX fiber connector. For the Dell switch, if it does not have a GBIC slot, you would need a media converter like one made by Allied Telesyn. They make a 1000base SX to 1000baseT converter. If the Dell switch is 10/100 only, you could use a small gigabit switch in between the two of them. Cisco ---> 5 port Gig Switch ---> Dell 10/100 switch via a crossover cable. Be careful of your radius though. |
