9 Deploy VxRail A laptop computer or jump box with a web browser for the VxRail user interface is required. It is either directly plugged into a leaf switch or able to logically reach the VxRail External Management VLAN from elsewhere on the network. By default, the initial VxRail Manager IP address is 192.168.10.200/24. After initial configuration, the address changes to its new address on the External Management network. The new VxRail Manager address used in this guide is 172.16.11.102/24 per the planning data in Table 3. During installation, the laptop or jump box must be able to reach both the initial and new VxRail Manager addresses, so two addresses are configured on the network adapter, one for each network. Note: Both addresses may be configured simultaneously if the network adapter supports it, or in sequence if required. The IP addresses configured on the laptop computer/jump box in this example are as follows: • 192.168.10.1/24, to communicate with the initial VxRail Manager address, 192.168.10.200/24 • 172.16.11.50/24, to communicate with the new VxRail Manager address, 172.16.11.102/24 If a laptop computer is used, the connections appear, as shown in Figure 15.

It may be connected to both leaf switches for redundancy using NIC teaming. Figure 16 shows a single connection from a jump box to a leaf switch for clarity. Port-group1/1/3 on the S5248F-ON is set to 10GbE to allow connectivity to a 10GbE NIC on the jump box. See Appendix B for information on S5248F-ON port-group configuration. 42 Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 Switch Configuration Guide for VxRail 4.7
