Table 27. PowerStore X model Network Setup Preparation Worksheet (blank) (continued) Step Step details Notes Node A, Port 1 to Node B, Port 0 to Node B, Port 1 to 4. Record the switch port to use for discovery while configuring your switches. 5. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for system management: Remote Discovery (untagged) Management (tagged) 6. Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for production: Storage network (tagged) vMotion (tagged) Internal (untagged) 7. Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below: Management IP address for switch 1 Management IP address for switch 2 Default gateway NTP server 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. Switch to switch port pair 1 Switch to switch port pair 2 Alternative to MC-LAG: Reliable L2 uplinks 9. If using MC-LAG, enter the Domain ID. 10 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. NOTE: You cannot use all zeros (00:00:00:00:00) for the VLT MAC address. VLT priority for switch 1 VLT priority for switch 2 11. Record the ports on the ToR switches that will be used to connect to the uplinks. Uplink A to ToR 1 Uplink B to ToR 1 Uplink A to ToR 2 Uplink B to ToR 2 92 Network Setup Preparation Worksheets

4.
Record the switch port to use for discovery while
configuring your switches.
5.
Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for system management:
Remote Discovery (untagged)
Management (tagged)
6.
Record the VLAN IDs that will be used for production:
Storage network (tagged)
vMotion (tagged)
Internal (untagged)
7.
Reserve and record the IP addresses necessary to configure the switch below:
Management IP address for switch 1
Management IP address for switch 2
Default gateway
NTP server
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.
Switch to switch port pair 1
Switch to switch port pair 2
Alternative to MC-LAG
: Reliable L2 uplinks
9.
If using MC-LAG, enter the Domain ID.
10
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.
NOTE:
You cannot use all zeros
(
00:00:00:00:00
) for the VLT MAC address.
VLT priority for switch 1
VLT priority for switch 2
11.
Record the ports on the ToR switches that will be used to connect to the uplinks.
Uplink A to ToR 1
Uplink B to ToR 1
Uplink A to ToR 2
Uplink B to ToR 2
