Dell EMC recommended switch configuration
10 Dell EMC Networking S5148F-ON Switch Configuration Guide for Dell EMC Unity, SC Series, and PS Series
iSCSI SANs | SCG3928
Note: The switch will reboot.
2.4 Configure out-of-band management port
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address <ipaddress>/<subnet>
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit
OS10(config)#
2.5 Configure login credentials
OS10(config)# username admin password $0$<password>
2.6 Disable link auto-negotiation (SC Series SAN with T6225 or T62100
adapter)
Note: This section applies only to SC Series iSCSI SANs that use the Chelsio
®
T6225 or T62100 adapter.
Note: If your switch OS version is 10.4.1 or later and SC Series controller version is 7.3.2 or later, skip this
step and proceed to section 2.7.
Before connecting the network cable between the Chelsio T6225/T62100 storage controller adapter and the
switch, disable link auto-negotiation on the switch. For example, if the T6225 adapter will be connected to port
eth 1/1/1, use the following procedure to disable link auto-negotiation:
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# negotiation off
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# exit
2.7 Enable switch ports
By default, switch ports for the S5148F-ON switch are enabled and configured for switchport mode access .
If choosing to reconfigure the ports, use the following steps.
Option 1: Enable ports individually by entering the port number.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# switchport mode access
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# exit
