Table 20. Switch resources for Storage services worksheet (completed) (continued) Step 10. Step details Notes Uplink B to ToR Switch 2 port 30 Record the port channel ID used for connectivity between the ToR switches and the uplinks. If deploying with MC-LAG (VLT), enter the port channel ID used for the uplink. port channel 30 Only a single port channel ID is required for MC-LAG. Alternatively, record the uplink port channel IDs required for L2 Uplinks without MC-LAG.
5. Connect to the switch using the terminal emulator program. 6. Enter the switch log in credentials. Default username and password are: ● Username: admin ● Password: admin 7. Enter global configuration mode. configure terminal 8. It is recommended that you change the password after logging into the switch for the first time. Use the following command to change the switch password.
Configure general settings on the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches Perform the following steps to configure general settings on the two ToR switches. In OS10EE, LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is enabled globally on each interface by default. You can use LLDP for troubleshooting and validation. It is recommended that you enable all of the optional TLVs (type, length, value) in the LLDPU (Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Units) on the switches. 1.
Switch1 Switch2 interface mgmt 1/1/1 no shutdown no ip address dhcp ip address 100.0.100.10/24 exit interface mgmt 1/1/1 no shutdown no ip address dhcp ip address 100.0.100.11/24 exit management route 0.0.0.0/0 100.0.100.1 management route 0.0.0.0/0 100.0.100.1 ntp server 100.0.100.200 ntp server 100.0.100.
7. Set the priority of the switch. primary-priority 1 Valid priority values range from 1 to 65535. The switch with the lower priority setting will take precedence of the switch with the higher priority value. Do not set the same priority value to the two ToR switches. 8. Enter a VLT MAC address to avoid conflicts on the network. NOTE: You cannot use all zeros (00:00:00:00:00) for the VLT MAC address. vlt-mac 00:00:00:00:00:01 Use the same VLT MAC address when configuring switch 2. 9.
Configure the LACP port channels on the switch ports for the nodes Configuring LACP is not required, but highly recommended. The first 2 ports of the 4-Port Card are aggregated in an LACP bond. The ports run in an active/active mode if LACP is configured. If LACP is not set, the ports run in active/passive mode. LACP requires that a Virtual Link Trunking interconnect (VLTi) has been configured on the switches. See Configure Virtual Link Trunking interconnect for details. 1.
