Dell recommended switch configuration
These steps show you how to configure a single Cisco Nexus 9504 chassis with two linecard modules that
are installed in Slot 1 and Slot 2.
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 your 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. You should always backup your
configuration settings prior to performing any configuration changes
