Configure the switch for the controller

The switch must be configured to work properly with the controller.
This procedure assumes that there are Ethernet port modules installed in slot A, and that the controller
is installed in slot D. Sample VLAN IDs and names are used. You will need to adjust the procedure
according to slots chosen, and the VLAN IDs and names used on your switch.
About controller ports
The controller features two 10GbE ports, Internet and LAN. These ports do not have RJ-45 Ethernet
jacks. Instead, these ports connect through the switch backplane and are mapped to specific RJ-45
jacks on an Ethernet module by VLAN configurations in the switch. The switch references the Internet
and LAN ports according to the switch slot in which the controller is installed. For example, if the
controller is installed in slot D, the first port (D1i) corresponds to the Internet port, and the second
port (D2i) corresponds to the LAN port.
