PowerStore X model: example of completed Network Setup Preparation Worksheet The examples of the network resources listed below are used in the deployment steps described in the PowerStore Network Configuration Guide for Dell PowerSwitch Series. Table 15. PowerStore X model Network Setup Preparation Worksheet completed example Step Step details Notes 1. Print this table to record the reserved resources. 2. Print out the Initial Configuration Worksheet to record the additional network resources you will need to create networks in PowerStore X model the first time you create a cluster. 3. Determine which of the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch ports will be connected to the PowerStore X model appliance base enclosure nodes. At a minimum, ports 0 and 1 on the node must be connected to the ToR switches. When cabling the nodes to the ToR switches: ● Port 0 and Port 1 on the same node must connect to opposite switches ● Port 0 on Node A, and Port 0 on Node B must connect to opposite switches ● Port 1 on Node A, and Port 1 on Node B must connect to opposite switches Record the ToR switch ports required to connect to: Node A, Port 0 to ToR 1 port 1 Node A, Port 1 to ToR 2 port 1 Node B, Port 0 to ToR 2 port 54 Node B, Port 1 to ToR 1 port 54 4. Record the switch port to use for discovery while configuring your switches. port 13 5. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for system management: Remote Discovery (untagged) 1 Management (tagged) 100 6. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for production: Storage network (tagged) 200 vMotion (tagged) 400 Internal (untagged) 1 7. Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below: Management IP address for switch 1 100.0.100.10/24 Management IP address for switch 2 100.0.100.11/24 Default gateway 100.0.100.1 NTP server 100.0.100.200 8. Dell EMC supports deploying PowerStore X model with two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches with a layer 2 interconnect link. Choose which type of layer 2 interconnect you will use: Highly Recommended: Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG) If you will be using MC-LAG, record the ports you will use to connect the switches together. 40 PowerStore Network Setup Preparation Worksheets

Step details
Notes
1.
Print this table to record the reserved resources.
2.
Print out the
Initial Configuration Worksheet
to record the additional network resources you will need to create
networks in PowerStore X model the first time you create a cluster.
3.
Determine which of the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch ports will be connected to the PowerStore X model appliance base
enclosure nodes.
At a minimum, ports 0 and 1 on the node must be connected to the ToR switches. When cabling the nodes to the ToR
switches:
●
Port 0 and Port 1 on the same node must connect to opposite switches
●
Port 0 on Node A, and Port 0 on Node B must connect to opposite switches
●
Port 1 on Node A, and Port 1 on Node B must connect to opposite switches
Record the ToR switch ports required to connect to:
Node A, Port 0 to
ToR 1 port 1
Node A, Port 1 to
ToR 2 port 1
Node B, Port 0 to
ToR 2 port 54
Node B, Port 1 to
ToR 1 port 54
4.
Record the switch port to use for discovery while
configuring your switches.
port 13
5.
Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for system management:
Remote Discovery (untagged)
1
Management (tagged)
100
6.
Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for production:
Storage network (tagged)
200
vMotion (tagged)
400
Internal (untagged)

7.
Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below:
Management IP address for switch 1
100.0.100.10/24
Management IP address for switch 2
100.0.100.11/24
Default gateway
100.0.100.1
NTP server
100.0.100.200

Dell EMC supports deploying PowerStore X model with two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches with a layer 2 interconnect
link.
Choose which type of layer 2 interconnect you will use:
Highly Recommended
: Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG)
If you will be using MC-LAG, record the ports you will use to connect the switches together.
