Dell EMC recommended switch configuration
11 Dell EMC Networking S5148F-ON Switch Configuration Guide for Dell EMC Unity, SC Series, and PS Series
iSCSI SANs | SCG3928
Option 2: Enable multiple ports at once using the range parameter.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/1–1/1/52
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# switchport access mode
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# exit
2.8 Enable Jumbo frames and 802.3x flow control
OS10(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/1–1/1/52
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# mtu 9216
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# flowcontrol receive on
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# flowcontrol transmit off
2.9 Configure spanning tree on edge ports
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# spanning-tree port type edge
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/52)# exit
Note: Spanning tree is enabled by default. If there is a need to reconfigure it, use the following command.
OS10(config)# no spanning-tree disable
OS10(config)# exit
2.10 Configure port channel for link aggregation
Note: Configuring for a port channel is mandatory for PS Series, optional for SC Series, and not applicable to
Dell EMC Unity SANs.
These commands create a port channel or link aggregation used as an interconnect between two switches.
OS10(config)# interface port-channel 1
OS10(conf-if-po-1)#mtu 9216
OS10(conf-if-po-1)#no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-po-1)#exit
This configuration guide uses ports 1/1/53 and 1/1/54 as port channel member ports. They are configured
using the following commands.
Note: All port channel member ports need to be of the same speed. For example, when using 40GbE ports
for port channel, do not add any member ports with a different port speed such as 100GbE or 10GbE.
OS10(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/53-1/1/54
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# no switchport
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# channel-group 1 mode active
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# mtu 9216
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# flowcontrol receive on
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# flowcontrol transmit off
OS10(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# exit
OS10(config)# exit
