Switch preparation

  • Check switch OS version

    Dell EMC PowerSwitch must be running OS10EE version 10.4.3.5 or later for this deployment.

    Run the show version command to check the OS version. Dell Technologies recommends upgrading to the latest release available on Dell Digital Locker (account required).

    OS10# show version

    Dell EMC Networking OS10-Enterprise

    Copyright (c) 1999-2019 by Dell Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    OS Version: 10.4.3.5

    Build Version: 10.4.3.5

    Note: For information about installing and upgrading OS10EE, see the Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Quick Start Guide.

    Verify license installation

    Run the show license status command to verify the license installation. Verify that the  License Type: field shows PERPETUAL, as shown in the following example.

    Note: If an evaluation license is installed, licenses purchased from Dell Technologies are available for download on Dell Digital Locker. Installation instructions are provided in the OS10 Enterprise Edition User Guide Release 10.4.3.0.

    Note: A perpetual license is already on the switch if OS10EE was factory installed.

    Factory default configuration

    The switch configuration commands in the chapters that follow begin with the leaf switches at their factory default settings. Dell EMC PowerSwitches running OS10EE can be reset to their default configuration as follows:

    OS10# delete startup-configuration

    Proceed to delete startup-configuration [confirm yes/no(default)]:y

    OS10# reload

    System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]:n

    Proceed to reboot the system? [confirm yes/no]:y

    The switch reboots to its factory default configuration.

    Note: OS10EE at its default settings has Telnet disabled, SSH enabled, and the OOB management interface that is configured to get its IP address using DHCP. The default username and password are both admin. Dell Technologies recommends changing the admin password to a complex password during the first login.

    Switch settings

    Table 6 shows the unique values for the four S5248F-ON switches. The table provides a summary of the configuration differences between each switch and each VLT switch pair.
