First, set the hostname, configure the OOB management interface and default gateway. Enable RSTP as a
precaution for network loops. The RSTP priority has been set at the spine layer; each leaf switch will be left
at the default value for RSTP. The no iscsi enable command is issued to ensure that iSCSI snooping is
disabled.

Configure the VLT interconnect between S4048-Leaf1 and S4048-Leaf2. In this configuration, remove each
interface from layer 2 mode with the no switchport command for interfaces eth 1/1/53-1/1/54. Once this is
done, enter the VLT domain, add the backup destination, and add the interfaces participating in VLTi. Finally,
enable VLT peer routing on each switch. Once VLT is enabled, it will dynamically change the MTU settings
for the VLTi to a value of 9216. Isilon’s OneFS supports and recommends the use of jumbo frames.
