The example above is for Ready Node 1. IP addresses used for the Ready Nodes are listed in Table 3. The 
default gateway is set to the leaf pair’s VRRP address, 172.16.11.254. 
4.  Configure the DNS server address on each Ready Node. 
PS> Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias ‘vEthernet (Management)’ -
ServerAddresses 172.16.11.5 
Note: Since the management system is not running Hyper-V, its two 10GbE NICs connected to the leaf 
switches are simply configured as a switch independent NIC team. The IP address of the NIC team used in 
this example is 172.16.11.5/24. 
9.5  Configure storage networks 
Run the following commands on each Ready Node to configure VLANs and IP addresses on the 25GbE 
physical network adapters for Storage 1 and Storage 2 traffic. The VLAN IDs and IP addresses shown are 
from Table 3. To validate the commands below have taken effect, the associated Get- cmdlets and output 
examples are listed in Chapter 10. 
Note: Use the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet in PowerShell to determine the network adapter port name used in 
the commands. These commands are not run on the management system as it is not part of the S2D cluster. 
9.5.1  Configure storage VLANs  
The following commands assign port 1 on the 25GbE network adapter to VLAN 1613 and port 2 to VLAN 
1614. 
PS> Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty 'SLOT 2 PORT 1' -RegistryKeyword VlanID -
RegistryValue "1613" 
PS> Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty 'SLOT 2 PORT 2' -RegistryKeyword VlanID -
RegistryValue "1614" 
9.5.2  Configure storage IP addresses 
The following commands configure the IP address and subnet mask for the two storage network adapter 
ports. The IP addresses shown are specific to Ready Node 1. 
PS> New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias 'SLOT 2 PORT 1' -IPAddress 172.16.13.1 -
PrefixLength 24 
PS> New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias 'SLOT 2 PORT 2' -IPAddress 172.16.14.1 -
PrefixLength 24
