Part 1 - Configure the ToR switch

Notes: By default, all four external (uplink) ports on FN410S IOMs are preconfigured in LACP port channel
128. In this example, two links from each FN410S are used. The corresponding connections on the ToR
switch must also be configured as LACP port channels. Port channel numbers 10 and 11 are used on the
S4048-ON, but they can be assigned any number supported by the ToR switch.
Figure 7 shows that before upgrade, the two PTMs connect to four S4048-ON ports (te 1/1-1/4). Figure 8
shows that, upon completion of the upgrade, the FN410S IOMs connect to four different S4048-ON ports (te
1/5-1/8). The connections can reuse the original ports. But, if they are available, using different ports
minimizes network downtime during the upgrade.
1. Configure port channel 10 on the S4048-ON to later connect to FN410S-A1 port channel 128:
S4048-ON(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 1/5-1/6
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/5-1/6)#no shutdown
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/5-1/6)#description LINK TO FN410S-A1
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/5-1/6)#port-channel-protocol lacp
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/5-1/6-lacp)#port-channel 10 mode active
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/5-1/6-lacp)#exit
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/5-1/6)#exit
S4048-ON(conf)#interface port-channel 10
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-10)#portmode hybrid
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-10)#switchport
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-10)#description PO TO FN410S-A1
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-10)#no shutdown
Port channel 10 does not require VLAN configuration in this example because it will only carry traffic on the
default, untagged VLAN (VLAN 1).
2. Configure port channel 11 on the S4048-ON to later connect to FN410S-A2 port channel 128:
S4048-ON(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 1/7-1/8
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/7-1/8)#no shutdown
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/7-1/8)#description LINK TO FN410S-A2
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/7-1/8)#port-channel-protocol lacp
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/7-1/8-lacp)#port-channel 11 mode active
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/7-1/8-lacp)#exit
S4048-ON(conf-if-range-te-1/7-1/8)#exit
S4048-ON(conf)#interface port-channel 11
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-11)#portmode hybrid
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-11)#switchport
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-11)#description PO TO FN410S-A2
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-11)#no shutdown
S4048-ON(conf-if-po-11)#exit
