Introduction 1 Introduction This document illustrates how to configure the Dell EMC™ Networking S5148F-ON switch for use with Dell EMC Unity, Dell EMC SC Series, or Dell™ PS Series storage using Dell EMC best practices. The host servers and storage controllers are connected to the switches using twinaxial or optical cabling. Link aggregation groups (LAGs) for inter-switch connections are mandatory for PS Series, optional for SC Series, and not connected for Dell EMC Unity iSCSI SAN environments.
Introduction Note: The latest switch OS updates and documentation can be found at the Force10 Portal. 1.4 Cabling diagram Refer to one of the following cabling sections that is applicable to your storage system: SC Series (section 1.4.1), Dell EMC Unity (section 1.4.2), or PS Series (section 1.4.3). 1.4.1 SC Series cabling diagram The cabling diagram shown in Figure 1 represents the Dell EMC recommended method for deploying servers and SC Series storage arrays.
Introduction 1.4.2 Dell EMC Unity cabling diagram The cabling diagram in Figure 2 represents the Dell EMC recommended method for deploying servers and Dell EMC Unity storage arrays.
Introduction 1.4.3 PS Series cabling diagram The cabling diagram shown in Figure 3 represents the Dell EMC recommended method for deploying servers and PS Series storage arrays. The two switches are connected to each other using a port-channel interconnect.
Dell EMC recommended switch configuration 2 Dell EMC recommended switch configuration The steps in this section show how to configure two Dell EMC Networking S5148F-ON switches with a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). The switches are interconnected using two of the 100GbE Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP28) ports. The LAG is configured for Dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). This example uses physical ports 53 and 54 for the 100GbE interconnect between the two switches.
Dell EMC recommended switch configuration Note: The switch will reboot. 2.4 Configure out-of-band management port OS10(config)# interface OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# OS10(config)# 2.5 mgmt 1/1/1 no ip address dhcp ip address / no shutdown exit Configure login credentials OS10(config)# username admin password $0$ 2.
Dell EMC recommended switch configuration 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.
Dell EMC recommended switch configuration 2.11 Save configuration OS10# copy running-configuration startup-configuration OS10# reload System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]:yes Proceed to reboot the system? [confirm yes/no]:yes 2.12 Configure additional switch Repeat the commands from section 2 to configure the second switch. Note: The preceding procedure places all switch ports in the default VLAN. If preferring to place ports in a non-default VLAN, refer to the switch documentation.
Configure Data Center Bridging (optional) 3 Configure Data Center Bridging (optional) To enable Data Center Bridging (DCB) mode on the switch, use the commands in this section. Note: Complete the switch configuration steps in section 2 before configuring the switch for DCB mode. Note: To avoid exceeding the default QoS buffer pool size, do not configure DCB parameters on all switch ports. Configure only the switch ports that will be operating with DCB traffic.
Configure Data Center Bridging (optional) 3.5 Create Priority Flow Control dot1p traffic class The following commands configure a network QoS class map and the iSCSI traffic class. OS10(config)# class-map type network-qos OS10(config-cmap-nqos)# match qos-group 4 OS10(config-cmap-nqos)# exit OS10(config)# 3.
Configure Data Center Bridging (optional) 3.
Configure Data Center Bridging (optional) 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 same speed. For example, when using 100GbE ports for the port channel, do not add any member ports with a different port speed such as 40GbE or 10GbE.
Configure Data Center Bridging (optional) 3.15 Show commands to verify DCBx, ETS, and PFC status on individual ports OS10# show lldp dcbx interface ethernet 1/1/ OS10# show lldp dcbx interface ethernet 1/1/ pfc detail OS10# show lldp dcbx interface ethernet 1/1/ ets detail 3.16 Configure additional switches Repeat the commands from section 3 to configure DCB on additional switches.
