Setup Guide

VLAN Congurations
The following sections describe management, data, and hypervisor-unaware VLANs.
Install VSN
Install VSN as a separate Open Automation package, apart from the Dell EMC Networking OS image and the downloaded Smart Scripting
package. When you install the VSN package, VSN loads into the Dell EMC Networking OS.
NOTE: VSN is only supported on standalone switches; it is not supported in stacked congurations.
Install the VSN package le in the same way you install a Dell EMC Networking OS release — directly from local ash memory on a switch
or from an external drive on a network server. Because the installation takes time, it runs in the background. When the download
completes, a message displays on the console. The package installation updates the running-conguration le.
You must manually congure the interfaces you use to connect to hypervisors. For information about how to congure a VLAN or physical
interface, see the Dell EMC Networking OS Conguration Guide, Interfaces chapter.
Installing VSN
To install the VSN package, follow these steps.
Smart Scripting is a pre–requisite for using VSN. Install the Smart Scripting package before you run the VSN application (see the Installing
Smart Scripting).
1 On a PC or other network device, go to the Dell EMC Networking web portal at https://www.force10networks.com/CSPortal20/
Main/SupportMain.aspx. Enter your User Id, Password, and click Login.
2 Click the Software Center tab.
3 From the left pane, click Automation Software.
4 To accept the DELL End User License Agreement, at the lower end of the page, click I Agree. Open Automation Software packages
are listed.
5 From the Virtual Server Networking software package, select and download the le corresponding to the switch from the following
list:
• VSNAGENT2.0.x.tar.gz le for S55 and S60
• VSNAGENT-P-9.10.0.0.tar.gz for S4810, S4820T, and S5000
• VSNAGENT-M-9.10.0.0.tar.gz for MXL switch
6 When the download completes, to install the VSN package in the internal ash memory, enter the package install command
from the Dell EMC Networking OS CLI.
Install the VSN package in the running conguration of the switch from local ash memory or a network server.
EXEC Privilege mode
package install {flash://filename | ftp://userid:password@host-ipaddress/dir-path | tftp://
host-ipaddress/dir-path}
• flash://filename — installs the VSN le stored in ash memory on the switch.
• ftp://userid:password@host-ipaddress/filepath — logs in and installs VSN from a le stored on an FTP server.
• tftp://host-ipaddress/filepath — installs VSN from a le stored on a TFTP server.
• nfsmount://filepath — copies from a le stored on an NFS mount le system.
7 To congure the Perl script (VSNAgent.pl) used for VSN operations on VMware hypervisors, enter the script /usr/pkg/
scripts/VSNAgent/VMWare/VSNAgent.pl
command.
