Configure switches
The following sections cover the configuration for S5248F-ON switch with the hostname
sfo01-leaf03
. All
switch configuration commands are provided in the file attachments. See
Section 1.4
for instructions on
accessing the attachments.
5.1
Configure general settings
1. Configure the management interface with a static IP address. This IP address is for remote access,
Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization, and for virtual link trunking (VLT) domain backup. A
management route is then configured and in this example specific to the management network.
OS10#
configure terminal
OS10(config)#
interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#
no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#
ip address 100.67.167.36/24
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#
exit
OS10(config)#
management route 100.64.0.0/13 managementethernet
OS10(config)#
end
OS10#
write memory
Note:
At this point, the configuration can continue from the console connection or an SSH session can be
established using the management IP address. The default username and password for OS10EE is
admin/admin. It is suggested to change this to a more secure password.
2. Set the hostname, Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) mode, RSTP priority value, and the NTP server.
The Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) setting is a performance modification and is optional. Setting the
value to scaled-L2 increases the internal L2/L3 forwarding table sizes.
OS10#
configure terminal
OS10(config)#
hostname sfo01-leaf03
sfo01-leaf03(config)#
hardware forwarding-table mode scaled-l2
sfo01-leaf03(config)#
spanning-tree rstp priority 0
sfo01-leaf03(config)#
ntp server 100.67.10.20
Note:
For more information about UFT, see the
OS10 Enterprise Edition User Guide
.
3. It is a best practice to restrict Telnet or SSH connections to the switch by applying an access list
(ACL) on the Virtual Terminal Line (VTY). The ACL
permit-mgmt-access
is created and applied
to the VTY. In this example, access is limited to hosts on the 100.67.0.0/13 network.
