8132F 10Gb Ethernet ports

8132F

LAG using four 10Gb Ethernet ports (optional):

Note: If you already completed section 2 you are finished. If you wish to create a LAG configuration using 10Gb Ethernet ports instead of QSFP uplink ports, follow the instructions below in place of section 2.

This configuration is optional and applicable only to the PC8132 and 8132F switches. It utilizes the front-side 10Gb Ethernet ports for the switch interconnect when the QSFP (40Gb) uplink ports are not present.

1. Type the following commands to clear the current switch configuration:

console>enable

console#clear config

console>enable

console#copy running-config startup-config

console#reload

2. HTTP and Telnet authentication

console#config

console(config)#line telnet

console(config-telnet)#login authentication default

console(config-telnet)#exit

console(config)#ip http authentication local

console(config)#username admin password yourpassword privilege 15

console(config)#enable password yourpassword

3. Configure the Out-of-Band interface

console(config)#interface out-of-band

console(config-if)#ip address ipaddress subnetmask gateway

console(config-if)#exit

4. Configure switch ports

console(config)#interface range Tengigabitethernet all

console(config-if)#mtu 9216

console(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast

console(config-if)#exit

console(config)#no dcb enable

console(config)#

5. Configure LAG ports

console(config)#interface range Tengigabitethernet 1/0/21-24

console(config-if)#no spanning-tree portfast

console(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode active

console(config-if)#exit

console(config)#interface port-channel 1

console(config-if-Po1)#mtu 9216

console(config-if-Po1)#exit

console(config)#exit

console#

6. Then execute the following command to save the setup:

console#copy running-config startup-config

Repeat steps 1 to 6 for the second switch. The IP address used for each switch must be unique, but it is recommended that all other settings be identical to the first switch.

7. Connect port 21 on the first switch to port 21 on the second switch.

Repeat the same for ports 22, 23, and 24. Connect array controllers starting at port 20.

8. To check the status of the LAG, run the following command:

console#show interfaces status port-channel 1

The resulting output should be similar to the following: Port	Type	Link
State
-----	----------------------------	-------
Po1	Link Aggregate	Up
