Dell recommended switch configuration

These steps outline how to configure two S5000 switches for use as an iSCSI SAN with SC Series storage.
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 any terminal utility, open a serial connection session to the switch.
4. Open the terminal emulator and configure it to use the serial port (usually COM1, but this may vary
depending on the 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 delete startup-
config command will set the startup configuration file to its default settings. You should always backup
your configuration settings prior to performing any configuration changes
FTOS>enable
FTOS#delete startup-config
Proceed to delete startup-config [confirm yes/no]yes
FTOS#reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]no
Proceed with reload [confirm yes/no]yes
Note: The switch will reboot.
2.3

Disabling Data Center Bridging (DCB) configuration

Note: For non-DCB environments, DCB must be manually disabled using the following steps:
FTOS>enable
FTOS#configure
FTOS(conf)#no dcb enable
FTOS(conf)#exit
FTOS#copy running-config startup-config
