All commands are provided in the file attachment named S5248F-single-switch.txt. 7.3.1 General settings Configure the hostname, OOB management IP address, and default gateway. Enable IPv6 MLD snooping to allow discovery of the VxRail nodes. Specify an NTP server accessible by the switch. In this example, this is an NTP server on the OOB management network, with a different IP address than the one used by the VxRail nodes on the External Management network. Note: Default spanning tree settings are used in this deployment. In SmartFabric OS10, RVPST+ is enabled by default, and RPVST+ VLAN priority numbers start at 32769. Modify the spanning tree settings if required for your environment. LLDP is enabled on each interface and globally by default. LLDP is useful for troubleshooting and validation. Dell EMC recommends leaving it enabled. 31 Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 Switch Configuration Guide for VxRail 4.7
