Setup Guide

6. Create VLT port-channel for Node B ports.
interface port-channel 20
description "LACP port channel for Node B"
vlt-port-channel 20
7. Configure allowed VLANs (VLAN trunking) and the native VLAN for Node B ports and ToR Switch 1.
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200,300
8. Configure the ports that are connected to PowerStore T model nodes as spanning tree protocol (STP) edge ports.
spanning-tree port type edge
exit
9. Move Node A facing port to the first port-channel group, and enable active LACP mode.
NOTE: For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
interface ethernet 1/1/1
channel-group 10 mode active
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
exit
10. Move Node B facing port to the second port-channel group, and enable active LACP mode.
NOTE: For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
interface ethernet 1/1/54
channel-group 20 mode active
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
exit
11. Commit configuration changes to nvram.
copy running-configuration startup-configuration
12. Repeat the same on the second ToR switch(2) as demonstrated below.
Switch 1
Switch 2
