Introduction

Introduction

  • This chapter describes how to configure the Ready Stack for Networking S3048-ON out-of-band (OOB) management and S5248F-ON ToR switches. These procedures are provided as an example of a working configuration. Ensure that you review the procedures with your site networking team before performing them.

    Networking site survey information

    This survey is intended as an example only. Appendix A provides the full site survey. Complete the form before starting the deployment.

    The following tables present an example of a networking site survey topology. Confirm all the information, especially Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) information, with the personnel who are responsible for the network configuration in your environment.

    Typographical conventions

    This section uses certain typographical conventions to designate commands and screen output.

    Command syntax is identified by Courier font. Information that is specific to your environment or site survey is placed inside <> symbols and 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 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 type. Optional commands are shown in italicized bold type.
