Dell recommended switch configuration

These steps show you how to configure two S4048-ON switches with a Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
The switches are interconnected using two of the 40GbE 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 115200,N,8,1 and no flow control.
5. Connect the (QSFP) LAG cables between the switches by connecting port 49 on switch 1 to port 49
on switch 2 and port 50 on switch 1 to port 50 on switch 2. See this configuration in Figure 1.
