Configuration considerations

To meet the network availability and security requirements of Company B and Company C and the
•
operation data space requirement of Company A, configure three MDCs on the switch to provide
a virtually separate access device and a separate operation data space for each company.
To restrict the disk space usage of Company A, specify a disk space percentage for MDC A.
•
• Because Company C has less Internet traffic, specify a smaller CPU weight for MDC C to reserve
more CPU resources for MDC A and MDC B.
Leave MDC B to use the default disk space.
•
• To allow remote physical device management and remote MDC management, assign IP addresses
to the physical and virtual management Ethernet interfaces and enable the Telnet service on the
interfaces.
Because each MDC has its own operation data space, operation data space is not a problem and
•
you do not need to do anything about it.
Configuration procedure
1. Assign an IP address to the physical management Ethernet interface and enable the Telnet service
on the interface to allow remote management of the default MDC.
<Device> system-view
[Device]interface M-Ethernet 0/0/0
[Device-M-Ethernet0/0/0]ip address 192.168.0.250 16
[Device-M-Ethernet0/0/0]quit
[Device]telnet server enable
[Device]user-interface vty 0 15
[Device-ui-vty0-15]authentication-mode none
[Device-ui-vty0-15]user-role network-admin
[Device-ui-vty0-15] quit
2. Create and configure MDCA for Company A:
