Configure routing to your default gateway, and save the configuration by running
the following commands:
SW1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0
<core network gateway>
SW1(config)# do write memory
The VLTi heartbeat uses the management interface on the back of the Dell EMC
Networking S5248F-ON switch, which is connected with a Cat 5e Ethernet network cable
from the top S5248F-ON switch to the bottom S5248F-ON switch. To configure the
management interface, go into global configuration mode on the switch and follow these
steps:
1.
Configure the management port by running the following commands:
SW1(config)# interface mgmt 1/1
SW1(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
SW1(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 192.168.1.252/24
SW2(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
SW2(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 192.168.1.253/24
SW1(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit
2.
Enable SPT by running the following commands:
SW1(config)# spanning-tree mode rstp
SW1(config)# spanning-tree rstp priority 16384
SW2(config)# spanning-tree rstp priority 32768
Caution:
Ensure that the personnel responsible for network management in your
environment have reviewed the configuration for SPT because incorrect settings may
cause network issues. The values provided here are examples only.
Configure the ports to be used for VLTi traffic:
1.
Run the following commands:
SW1(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/53-1/1/54
SW1(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# description VLTi
SW1(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# no switchport
SW1(conf-range-eth1/1/53-1/1/54)# exit
2.
Create the VLT domain and add the discovery interfaces:
SW1(config)# vlt-domain 1
SW1(conf-vlt-1)# backup destination 192.168.1.253
SW2(conf-vlt-1)# backup destination 192.168.1.252
SW1(conf-vlt-1)# discovery-interface ethernet 1/1/53-1/1/54
SW1(conf-vlt-1)# do write memory
3.
Ensure that the VLT domain is properly configured by running the following
command in enable mode:
SW1# show vlt 1 | find Status
