Dell Technologies has provided sample switch configuration files in GitHub. These files enable you to easily adapt and configure the switches that you use for the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. To use the files:
git clone https://github.com/dell-esg/openshift-bare-metal.git
Note: If you use different hardware or require different configurations, modify the configuration files accordingly.
Dell EMC PowerSwitch S5232F switches are in Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) mode and are uplinked to core switches in the environment. The PowerSwitch S3048 switch has an uplink to S5232F switches. The following table shows the port connections between the switches. These connections are reflected in the sample switch configuration files.
