Configure the server facing ports

To support multiple VLANs, you must place the server facing ports in trunk mode. All the VLANs assigned to the ports are tagged to allow
the port groups to identify and direct traffic appropriately.

MX7K-IOM-A2# configure terminal

MX7K-IOM-A2(config)# interface range ethernet 1/1/1-1/1/8

MX7K-IOM-A2(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/8)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 96,1611-1614,2711-2712

MX7K-IOM-A2(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/8)# mtu 9216

MX7K-IOM-A2(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/8)# no shutdown

MX7K-IOM-A2(conf-range-eth1/1/1-1/1/8)# exit

MX7K-IOM-A2(config)# exit

MX7K-IOM-A2#

Save your switch configuration on each MX5108n switch by running the following command:

MX7K-IOM-A2#write mem

Verify switch configuration

The MX5108n switches are now configured with the minimum required settings to support the deployment of Cloud Foundation. Run the

running-config

command to verify the configuration. The configuration should look like:

! Version 10.4.0E.R3S
