Dell recommended switch configuration

These steps show you how to configure two Force10 S4810 switches with a LAG. The switches are
interconnected using two of the 40 GbE Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) uplink ports, and the
LAG is configured for Dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
2.1

Hardware configuration

1. Power on the two switches.
2. Connect a serial cable to the serial port of the first switch.
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.
5. Connect the (QSFP) LAG cables between the switches, by connecting port 48 on switch 1 to port 48
on switch2 and port 52 on switch 1 to port 52 on switch 2. See this configuration in Figure 1.
