Dell EMC recommended switch configuration
Use the following steps to configure the Cisco Nexus 9372PX switch.
Note:
The configuration steps in this section are only recommended when the switch is used as a dedicated
SAN for iSCSI traffic (not shared with LAN traffic).
2.1
Hardware configuration
1. Power on the chassis.
2. Connect a serial cable to the active supervisor management port.
3. Using PuTTY or another terminal utility, open a serial connection session to the switch.
4. Open a terminal emulator and configure it to use the serial port (usually COM1 but this may vary
depending on your system). Configure serial communications for 9600,N,8,1 and no flow control.
2.2
Delete startup configuration
Note:
This example assumes a switch at its default configuration settings. Using the
write erase
command will set the startup configuration file to its default settings. Always back up the configuration
settings prior to performing any configuration changes
