1.4 General networking best practices for VRTX 1GbE and
10GbE switch modules
 Ensure that the local network DHCP server IP address pool can support multiple
unique IP addresses. For static IP addresses assigned to the Dell PowerEdge VRTX
1GbE switch, ensure that they are unique from the local network DHCP server pool.
 Uplink switch ports in IEEE 802.1Q trunk or Link Aggregation Group (LAG)
configurations on Dell PowerEdge VRTX 1GbE or 10GbE switch modules require
identical IEEE 802.1Q trunks or LAG configurations. See Figure 8.
 Dell EMC recommends creating a separate VLAN when establishing a management
link to the Dell PowerEdge VRTX Chassis Management Controller (CMC). The CMC
and any in-band IP configuration for management must be on different subnets.
Following best practices, in Figure 8, an in-band management port would be on a
separate VLAN than the CMC.
