4 4.1 4.2 Dell EMC Networking S5248F-ON 25GbE switch configuration This chapter provides the steps for configuring the network to connect VxFlex v2.6.1.1 on Dell EMC VxFlex Ready Nodes (based on R740xd servers) using Dell EMC Networking S5248F-ON 25GbE switches running OS10EE. Switch configuration details with explanations are provided for one leaf switch. The remaining leaf switch uses a similar configuration. Note: The configuration files for both leaf switches are provided as attachments in the softcopy (.pdf) of this document. To access attachments in Adobe Acrobat Reader, click the icon in the left pane halfway down the page, then click the icon. Initializing switches The S5248F-ON switches must be running OS10EE version 10.4.2.2 or later for the commands that are provided in this guide to work. Note: Dell EMC recommends that the switches are using a perpetual license and are set to factory defaults. Before proceeding, use the instructions in section 3.3 to verify the operating system version of each switch. If necessary, download and install the perpetual licenses, and then set your switches to factory defaults to prepare them for the VxFlex network configuration. S5248F-ON leaf switch configuration The following section outlines the configuration commands that are issued to the S5248F-ON leaf switches. The switches start at their factory default settings, as indicated in section 3.3. Note: The following configuration details are specific to S5248F, Leaf1A. The remaining leaf switch is similar. The configuration details for both leaf switches are provided in the attachments section and are named S5248-Leaf1A.txt and S5248-Leaf1B.txt. Initial configuration requires the configuration of the hostname. The VLT backup interface is configured with an IP address. OS10# configure terminal OS10(config)# hostname S5248-Leaf1A S5248-Leaf1A(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1 S5248-Leaf1A(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp S5248-Leaf1A(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 172.16.30.101/24 S5248-Leaf1A(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no shutdown S5248-Leaf1A(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit S5248-Leaf1A(config)# management route 0.0.0.0/0 172.16.30.254 Enable RSTP as a precaution against loops. Configure S5248F-Leaf1A as the primary RSTP root bridge using the spanning-tree rstp priority 0 command and S5248F-Leaf1B as the secondary RSTP root bridge using the spanning-tree rstp priority 4096 command.
