The S4148T-ON switch serves as the OOB management switch for the Ready Stack. You can use a single switch because this connectivity is not considered critical for workload operations.
Configure the S4148T-ON switch as follows:
Figure 5. Serial port
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# hostname SWOOB
SWOOB(config)# username <username> password <password> role sysadmin
SWOOB(config)# clock timezone <timezone, example CST -6 0>
SWOOB(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0 <core network gateway>
SWOOB(config)# do write
This section describes how to configure the VLANs on the S4148T-ON switch. The examples show how to configure each VLAN.
Follow these steps:
SWOOB(config)# interface vlan 100
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# description “out-of-band VLAN”
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# mtu 9000
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# no shutdown
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# exit
SWOOB(config)# do write
SWOOB# show running-config
Configure the ports that the management servers’ iDRAC cards are connected to on the switch. In this example, ports 1/1 to 1/3 are used for the management server’s iDRAC.
SWOOB(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/1-1/1/3
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/3)# no shutdown
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/3)# no ip address
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/3)# switchport access vlan 100
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/3)# spanning-tree port type edge
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/3)# mtu 9000
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/3)# show configuration
The following output is displayed for each port:
interface ethernet1/1/1
no shutdown
switchport access vlan 100
mtu 9000
flowcontrol receive on

The S4148T-ON switch connects to the network through the PowerSwitch S5248F-ON VLT domain using a port channel consisting of two 10 GbE ports on the S4148T-ON switch. To configure the port channel and ports:
SWOOB(config)# interface vlan 100
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# description “out-of-band VLAN”
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# no shutdown
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# ip address 172.90.100.25/24
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# mtu 9000
SWOOB(conf-if-vl-100)# exit
SWOOB(config)# do write
SWOOB(config)# interface port-channel 101
SWOOB(conf-if-po-101)# description “OOB uplink”
SWOOB(conf-if-po-101)# no shutdown
SWOOB(conf-if-po-101)# switchport mode trunk
SWOOB(conf-if-po-101)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 100
SWOOB(conf-if-po-101)# mtu 9000
SWOOB(conf-if-po-101)# exit
SWOOB(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/49-1/1/50
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/49-1/1/50)# description “OOB uplink”
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/49-1/1/50)# no shutdown
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/49-1/1/50)# channel-group 101 mode active
SWOOB(conf-range-eth1/1/49-1/1/50)# mtu 9000
