Table 23. Switch resources for Storage services worksheet (completed) Step Details Notes 1. Print this table to record the reserved resources. 2 Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the ToR switches below: Management IP address for ToR Switch 1 100.0.100.10/24 Management IP address for ToR Switch 2 100.0.100.11/24 Default gateway 100.0.100.1 NTP server 100.0.100.200 3. As a best practice it is recommended to add a spanning tree protocol to the ToR switches. Record the spanning tree protocols to set on each switch. Spanning tree protocol for ToR Switch 1 40960 Spanning tree protocol for ToR Switch 2 45056 4. Choose which layer 2 interconnect you will configure between the switches. ● Highly Recommended: Direct interconnect using Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG) ● Direct Interconnect not using MC-LAG ● No direct interconnect between the switches If you will be using MC-LAG, record the ports you will 25 to 25 use to connect the switches together. ToR Switch 1 to ToR Switch 2 port pair 1 ToR Switch 1 to ToR Switch 2 port pair 2 26 to 26 If using MC-LAG, enter the Domain ID. N/A Alternatively, if using uplinks for Layer 2 connectivity between the switches, record the L2 uplink switch ports. VLT domain ID 1 5. If using VLT for the Layer 2 interconnect, record the: VLT MAC address to use for both switch 1 and switch 2. Use the same VLT MAC address for switch 1 and switch 2. 00:00:00:00:00:01 NOTE: You cannot use all zeros (00:00:00:00:00) for the VLT MAC address. VLT priority for ToR Switch 1 VLT priority for ToR Switch 2 MTU setting for Jumbo Frames NOTE: It is recommended to configure jumbo frames with an MTU setting of 9216. The same MTU size must be set on both switches for both node ports. 1 8192 9216 6. Record the ports on the ToR switches that will be used to connect to the uplinks. Uplink A to ToR Switch 1 port 29 Uplink B to ToR Switch 1 port 30 Uplink A to ToR Switch 2 port 29 Uplink B to ToR Switch 2 port 30 58 Configuring PowerStore T model with Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack switches
