Basic Layer 2 Setup and Buffer Tuning of the
S25P for Storage Environments
Introduction
This document is intended for the users of S-Series S25P switches running FTOS 7.8.1.0 and configured
for use in a storage environment. This document describes:
•
Using the console port to enable all ports on the switch for Layer 2 switching
•
Verifying that the installed FTOS software is FTOS 7.8.1.0
•
Setting up passwords for managing the switch. For details on management, see the Management
chapter in the
FTOS Configuration Guide for the S-Series
and the Control and Monitoring chapter in
the
FTOS Command Reference
for the S-Series
.
•
Optimizing the buffer for use in pure storage environments
This document does not cover:
•
Installing optional modules. For installation details, see the document
Installing S25P Systems
. For a
configuration example, see
Figure 7 on page 6
here.
•
Adding the switch to an S-Series stack. For stacking configuration details, see the Stacking chapters in
the
Configuration Guide
and the
Command Reference
listed above.
•
Layer 3 (IP addressing) configuration. For details, see the Interfaces and IP Addressing chapters in the
Configuration Guide
and Interface Commands chapter in the
Command Reference
listed above.
