Confirm Proper Networking Configuration (Management Network)
Confirm the validity of the networking configuration by testing network connectivity to the external network via the
management IP of the ToR switch.

4.7.
Connect the MS1300 Platform to the Network (Payload/Data Network)
Connect your payload/data network to uplink 3
(see label 5 on Figure 4).
4.8.
Confirm Proper Networking Configuration (Spanning-Tree)
Confirm that the spanning-tree configuration works properly by looking at the forwarding states of the uplinks connected
to your networks: Ethernet 1/3 (payload/data network) and Ethernet 1/25 (management network). Both interfaces should
be in forwarding state on MST instance 0. You should also look at the forwarding states of the interfaces on the ToR
