Configure the Management switch If you are deploying PowerStore T model perform the following steps to configure the out-of-band (OOB) management switch settings. Each Management switch must have the following ports available to connect to PowerStore T model: ● 2 ports for connectivity to the Management Uplink switch. ● 2 ports to connect to PowerStore T model. ● Optional, 1 port for remote discovery. 1.

Configure the Management switch
If you are deploying PowerStore T model perform the following steps to configure the out-of-band (OOB) management switch
settings.
Each Management switch must have the following ports available to connect to PowerStore T model:
2 ports for connectivity to the Management Uplink switch.
2 ports to connect to PowerStore T model.
Optional, 1 port for remote discovery.
1.
Establish a terminal connection to the switch
.
2.
Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
3.
Configure a hostname for the switch.
hostname powerStoreMgmtSwitch
4.
Create a management VLAN.
interface vlan 100
description managementNetwork
no shutdown
exit
5.
If performing remote discovery, optionally configure an ethernet interface on the switch for the remote discovery
workstation.
interface ethernet 1/1/1
description discoveryWorkstation
switchport access vlan 100
no shutdown
exit
6.
Configure the management IP address for the switch.
NOTE:
The following command sample assumes that automatic IP assignment through Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) is enabled on the switch. If automatic IP assignment through DHCP is not enabled, then you do not
need to include
no ip address dhcp
in the commands below.
interface mgmt 1/1/1
no shutdown
no ip address dhcp
ip address 100.0.100.50/24
exit
7.
Configure the management route (default gateway) for the switch.
management route 0.0.0.0/0 100.0.100.1
exit
8.
Configure an NTP server for the switch.
ntp server 100.0.100.200
exit
9.
Configure ethernet ports on the switch that will connect to the PowerStore T model management ports.
