Steps to configure the OOB management switch for a
Block-optimized (FC-only) deployment with no ToR
switches
Block-optimized (FC-only) deployments require a minimum of one out-of-band management switch.
Steps to configure the OOB management switch include:
1. Establish a terminal session to the OOB switch.
2. Validate the switch version and licensing.
3. Configure the OOB management switch.
4. If you have not done so already, cable the OOB management switch to the base enclosure nodes.
Once you have configured and cabled the out-of-band management switch to the base enclosure nodes, validate the
configuration before discovering the PowerStore T model appliance. For validation options see: Validate the out-of-band
management switch configuration.
Establish a terminal session to the switch
Perform the following steps to establish a terminal session to the serial console port on the Dell EMC PowerSwitch Series.
These steps are specific to establishing connections to Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148-ON switches.
For console serial port cable requirements, and further details refer to the Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4100-ON Series Installation
Guide located at: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/networking-s4148f-on/docs.
You must establish a terminal session to each of the switches to configure the switches for deployment.
1. Power on the switch.
2. Use a serial cable to connect a computer to the serial console port, which is the top port located on the PSU-side of the
PowerSwitch.
For PSU-side of the switch layout see the Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148-ON section of this guide.
3. Open a terminal emulator program, such as PuTTY, on the computer.
4. Configure the serial connection in the terminal emulator program using the following settings.
