- Configure the dedicated management port. This example uses interface Management 0.
- Configure an IP address on the OOB management network unique to the switch. Specify the gateway address if routing is used on the OOB management network.

For each Ethernet interface connected to a spine switch: - Provide a description.
- Set the MTU size to 9216 bytes for best performance.
- Enable the interface.
- Enable IPv6 to support unnumbered BGP point-to-point links with link-local addressing.
- Enable link state tracking for upstream links to the spines. This setting helps to minimize switch failover time.

This configuration is used in this deployment example for access to DNS and NTP services, as shown in PowerFlex leaf-spine production topology. Each interface connected to an external switch is configured in this example as follows: - Provide a description.
- Set the MTU size to 9216 bytes (optional).
- Enable the interface.
- Bind the interface to the tenant VRF.
- Enable IPv6 to support unnumbered BGP point-to-point links.
