Edge sites must meet both hardware and DHCP requirements.
Edge site hardware requirements
The following tables show the systems that Dell Technologies has validated for use as edge sites:
Type | Description | Quantity |
Edge nodes | Dell PowerEdge XR4000, XR11, XR12, R650, or R750 server requiring:
| 1+ per edge site |
Data switches (optional) | Dell PowerSwitch S5248-ON or S5232-ON | 1 per edge site |
iDRAC network (optional) | Dell PowerSwitch S4048-ON | 1 per edge site |
DHCP
For edge nodes to be registered with the controller, a DHCP server must be available to provide IP addresses for the edge node interfaces. Dell Technologies has validated using DHCP relays (named IP Helper Address in OS 10), which forward DCHP requests to a DHCP server running on the CSAH.
