switchport access vlan 105
spanning-tree port type edge
You can use the following example commands to configure the switch ports used for the vMotion and virtual
machines network. Replace the interface name, description, and VLANs with the values for your configuration.
interface {interface name, such as EthernetX/Y or GigabitEthernetX/Y/Z}
description {desired description, such as NetApp-HCI-NodeX-PortC|F}
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 107
switchport trunk allowed vlan 200,201
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
Some switches might require inclusion of the native VLAN in the allowed VLAN list. See the
documentation for your specific switch model and software version.

NetApp Element Plug-in for vCenter Server
DNS and timekeeping requirements
Before deployment, you need to prepare Domain Name System (DNS) records for your
NetApp HCI system and gather NTP server information. NetApp HCI requires a DNS
server with the correct DNS entries and an NTP server for a successful deployment.
Make the following DNS and timeserver preparations before deploying NetApp HCI:
• Create any needed DNS entries for hosts (such as individual compute or storage nodes) and document
how the host entries map to the respective IP addresses. During deployment, you will need to assign a
prefix to your storage cluster that will be applied to each host; to avoid confusion, keep your DNS naming
plans in mind when choosing a prefix.
• If you are deploying NetApp HCI with a new VMware vSphere installation using a fully qualified domain
name, you must create one Pointer (PTR) record and one Address (A) record for vCenter Server on any
DNS servers in use before deployment.
• If you are deploying NetApp HCI with a new vSphere installation using only IP addresses, you do not need
to create new DNS records for vCenter.
• NetApp HCI requires a valid NTP server for timekeeping. You can use a publicly available time server if
you do not have one in your environment.
• Ensure that all storage and compute node clocks are in sync with each other, and that the clocks of devices
you use to log in to NetApp HCI are in sync with the NetApp HCI nodes.
