Configure the Replication and Block Import network on the ToR switches
The following steps use the resources from the example that is used in this document. If you did not use the same resources, see your completed Network Preparation Worksheet for Storage services.
- Establish a terminal connection to the first ToR switch (Switch1).
-
Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
-
Create the Replication and Block Import VLAN.
interface vlan 400 description RepBlockImport_Network no shutdown exit
-
Configure Replication and Block Import VLAN for Node A ports.
interface ethernet 1/1/2 switchport trunk allowed vlan 400 exit
-
Configure the Replication and Block Import VLAN on the uplinks.
interface port-channel 50 switchport trunk allowed vlan 400 exit
-
Repeat steps 1 - 5 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).
| Switch1 | Switch2 |
|---|---|
configure terminal interface vlan 400 description RepBlockImport_Network no shutdown exit interface ethernet 1/1/7 switchport trunk allowed vlan 400 exit interface port-channel 50 switchport trunk allowed vlan 400 exit |
configure terminal interface vlan 400 description RepBlockImport_Network no shutdown exit interface ethernet 1/1/48 switchport trunk allowed vlan 400 exit interface port-channel 50 switchport trunk allowed vlan 400 exit |
