Configure a Storage network on the ToR switches
The following steps provide an example of configuring an additional NVMe/TCP storage network on two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches.
You can cable the PowerStore T model appliance nodes to the switches before or after you perform these steps. For steps, see Cable the nodes to the ToR switches.
See New storage network resources for a list of:
- Network resources required to add a storage network
- Sample values are used in the following steps.
- Establish a terminal connection to the first ToR switch (Switch1).
-
Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
-
Configure the Storage network on ToR Switch1.
interface vlan 210 description NVMe_Network2 exit
-
Configure the Storage network to run over port 6 on ToR Switch1.
interface ethernet 1/1/6 description NodeA_IO_0_port_1 no shutdown switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 210 mtu 9216 no shutdown
-
Repeat steps 1 - 4 on the second ToR switch (Switch2) as demonstrated below.
NOTE:Be sure to use the correct Ethernet ports when configuring the second ToR switch (Switch2).
| Tor Switch1 | ToR Switch2 |
|---|---|
configure terminal interface vlan 210 description NVMe_Network2 exit interface ethernet 1/1/6 description NodeA_IO_0_port_1 no shutdown switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 210 mtu 9216 no shutdown |
configure terminal interface vlan 210 description NVMe_Network2 exit interface ethernet 1/1/49 description NodeB_IO_0_port_1 no shutdown switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 210 mtu 9216 no shutdown |
