Configure the hostname, OOB management IP address, and default gateway. Specify an NTP server accessible by the switch. The example shows 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.
When configuring the general settings for a VxRail deployment ensure to enable IPv6 MLD snooping. This is a requirement for node discovery in VxRail.
