Configure the uplink ports on the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches
1. Establish a terminal connection to the first ToR switch (Switch1).
2. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
3. Configure the port-channel for the uplinks.
interface port-channel 30
description Uplink
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200,300
vlt-port-channel 30
4. Configure the uplink ports on the switch.
NOTE: For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
interface ethernet 1/1/29
description Uplink_Ports
no shutdown
channel-group 30 mode active
no switchport
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
interface ethernet 1/1/30
description Uplink_Ports
