N3248TE-ON DAC 100G VLT Domain
Hi
We have 2 N3248TE-ON switches that we want to stack for redundancy. We understand that with OS10 there is no more stacking between switches and VLT is now used.
I have been though instructions to setup VLT for OS10
We want to use the 100Gb DAC interface to connect the switches rather than use the 10Gb fibre ports that we will need for other connections Is this possible? How do you asign the DAC interface as the discovery VLTI for each switch in OS10?
Thanks

Hello,
The N3248TE-ON does support OS10, in addition to OS6 and Sonic. (see attached image)
The N3248TE-ON has 48 1GBASE-T RJ45 ports, four 10G SFP+ ports, and two 100G QSFP28 ports.
The 100G QSFP28 ports of 2 switches can be connected with DAC and used for VLTi.
Once the DAC is inserted, we can see the port-number using command:
#Show inv media
1/1/51 SFP+ SFP+ 10GBASE-SR AR62S GV true
1/1/52 SFP+ SFP+ 10GBASE-SR ARR2Z 52 true
1/1/53 QSFP28 QSFP28 100GBASE-CR4-0.5M CN0AP X0008A6DGG true
1/1/54 QSFP+ QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 75038 38W0077 true
Configure the VLTi interface.
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/53
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/53)# no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/53)# no switchport
Configure the VLT.
OS10(config)# vlt-domain 1
OS10(conf-vlt-1)# backup destination x.x.x.x <<Enter the management IP address of the VLT peer>>
OS10(conf-vlt-1)# discovery-interface ethernet1/1/53

A N-Series Switch dont support VLTi. The N-Series, like old PowerConnect are "dumb". Take a look to https://dl.dell.com/content/manual20646349-dell-networking-n-series-switches-user-guide-version-6-8-0.pdf?language=en-us page 227.
