7 SCG1004 Force10 S60 Configuration Guide for EqualLogic SANs
2 Dell recommended switch configuration
This section demonstrates how to configure two Dell Networking S60 or Force10 S60 switches with a
LAG. The switches are interconnected by an optional dual port 10GbE SFP+ module, and the LAG is
configured for Dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
2.1 Hardware configuration
1. Power on the two switches.
2. Connect a serial cable to the serial port of the first switch.
3. Using Putty or another terminal utility, open a serial connection session to the switch.
4. Open your terminal emulator and configure it to use the serial port (usually COM1 but this may vary
depending on your system). Configure serial communications for 9600,N,8,1 and no flow control.
5. Use optical cables to connect between the SFP+ optional modules on both switches. See this
configuration in Figure 1.
2.2 Delete startup configuration
Note: The following commands will delete all configuration settings.
FTOS>enable
FTOS#delete startup-config
Proceed to delete startup-config [confirm yes/no]yes
FTOS#reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]no
Proceed with reload [confirm yes/no]yes
Note: The switch will reboot.
2.3 Configure out of band (OOB) management port
FTOS>enable
FTOS>#configure
FTOS(conf)#interface ManagementEthernet 0/0
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#no shutdown
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#ip address ipaddress mask
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#exit
