This chapter describes how to configure this Ready Stack for Networking S3048-ON OOB management and S5248F-ON ToR switches. These steps are provided as an example of a working configuration. Ensure that you review the steps with your site networking team before performing them.
Note: This Ready Stack solution supports other switch models in the Dell EMC Networking portfolio, such as the S4148T-ON and the S5232-ON switches. However, the S5232F-ON and S3048-ON switches that this sample configuration uses do not require additional breakout cabling for lower-link speed devices and may help reduce cost and cabling complexity.
This networking site survey topology is intended as an example. Before starting deployment, complete the full survey, which is available in Appendix A.
Confirm all the information in the following tables, especially Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) information, with the personnel who are responsible for the network configuration in your environment.

You need a laptop with a serial connection and terminal emulation software such as PuTTY.
This guide uses certain typographical conventions to mark commands and screen output.
Information that is specific to your environment or site survey is placed inside <> symbols and presented in italics. For example:
- Deployment guide command reference: OS10(config)# hostname <hostname>
- On the top S5248F-ON switch, enter: OS10(config)# hostname SW1
- On the bottom S5248F-ON switch, enter: OS10(config)# hostname SW2
When an input command is different between the top and the bottom switch but the information is not part of the site survey, an indentation identifies the different commands. Use the command with the preceding hostname for the switch you are configuring. For example:
SW1(config)# spanning-tree mode rstp #Command entered on both switches
SW1(config)# spanning-tree rstp priority 4096 #Command for Top S5248F-ON
SW2(config)# spanning-tree rstp priority 8192 #Command for Bottom S5248F-ON
Screen output is presented in bold. Optional commands are shown in bold italics.
