Step Step details Notes
6. Record the ports on the OOB management switch that will be used to connect to the uplinks.
Management Uplink A to
Management Uplink B to
7. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used on the OOB management switch:
Remote Discovery (untagged)
Management (untagged)
8. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used on the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches:
Storage network (tagged)
Internal (untagged)
NAS (tagged) (for Unified deployments only)
9. Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below:
Management IP address for out-of-band management
switch
Management IP address for switch 1
Management IP address for switch 2
Default gateway
NTP server
10. Dell EMC supports deploying PowerStore T model with two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches with a layer 2 interconnect
link.
Choose which type of layer 2 interconnect you will use:
Highly Recommended: Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG)
If you will be using MC-LAG, record the ports you will use to connect the switches together.
Switch to switch port pair 1
Switch to switch port pair 2
Alternatively, L2 Uplinks without MC-LAG
11. If using MC-LAG, enter the Domain ID.
12. If using VLT for the Layer 2 interconnect, record the:
VLT MAC address to use for both switch 1 and switch 2.
Use the same VLT MAC address for switch 1 and switch
2.
NOTE: You cannot use all zeros
(00:00:00:00:00) for the VLT MAC address.
VLT priority for switch 1
VLT priority for switch 2
13. If configuring with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) record the LACP (port channel) ID for the node
connections:
Port Channel ID for Node A
Port Channel ID for Node B
14. Record the ports on the ToR switches that will be used to connect to the uplinks.
