Deployment overview
This section provides high-level guidance for deploying the total solution to include FC storage, networking,
server resources, and virtualization.
4.1
Configuration strategy and sequence
This document provides specific configuration examples for the S5248-ON leaf pair and S4148U-ON switch in
F_Port mode.
Note:
The Dell EMC Unity 500F storage array, and Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd servers were used to
validate the complete solution.
For details related to setup and their components, see Appendix A & B.
The following sequence can be used as a guide for how the complete solution can be set up from start to
finish. Basic connectivity and related SW installation are required before starting.

7.
Configure interface to storage array (vFabric)
4.1.3
Dell EMC PowerSwitch S5248-ON leaf switches as FSBs
1. Enable FIP Snooping
2. Enable DCBx
