Configure port interfaces for PowerStore X model node connectivity You configure the port interfaces between the PowerStore X model nodes and the ToR switches. Steps 1. Establish a terminal connection to the switch to the first ToR switch (Switch1) 2. Enter global configuration mode. configure terminal 3. Configure allowed VLANs and the native VLAN for Node A port 0 and ToR switch 1. NOTE: For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below. interface ethernet 1/1/1 description Node-A-Port_0 no shutdown switchport mode trunk switchport access vlan 1 switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200,400 flowcontrol receive off flowcontrol transmit off spanning-tree port type edge exit 4. Repeat steps on switch 1 for Node B, port 1, as demonstrated below.

Configure port interfaces for PowerStore X model node
connectivity
You configure the port interfaces between the PowerStore X model nodes and the ToR switches.
Steps
1.
Establish a terminal connection to the switch
to the first ToR switch (Switch1)
2.
Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
3.
Configure allowed VLANs and the native VLAN for Node A port 0 and ToR switch 1.
NOTE:
For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
interface ethernet 1/1/1
description Node-A-Port_0
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200,400
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
spanning-tree port type edge
exit
4.
Repeat steps on switch 1 for Node B, port 1, as demonstrated below.
NOTE:
For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
configure terminal
interface ethernet 1/1/54
description Node-B-Port-1
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200,400
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
spanning-tree port type edge
exit
5.
Repeat steps on switch 2 connectivity to Node A Port 0 and Node B Port 1 as demonstrated below.
While configuring Switch 2, note that the ethernet interfaces are reversed. Ethernet interface 1 is configured on Node-B-
Port-1 and interface 54 is configured on Node-A-Port-0 as demonstrated below.
