Hardware Overview
This section briefly describes the hardware that is used to validate the deployment examples in this
document. Appendix A contains a complete listing of hardware and software validated for this guide.
Note: While the steps in this document were validated using the specified Dell EMC PowerSwitch models and
operating system(s), they may be leveraged for other Dell EMC PowerSwitch models utilizing the same
networking OS version or later assuming the switch has the available port numbers, speeds, and types. At the
date of publication, the S4148U-ON switch is the only OS10 Enterprise Edition (OS10EE) based switch
supporting Fibre Channel services.
2.1
Dell EMC PowerSwitch models
This section details the Dell EMC PowerSwitch models in the networking topology shown in Figure 5.
2.1.1
Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148U-ON
The S4148U-ON enables converging LAN and SAN traffic in a single rack unit (1-RU), multilayer switch. It
includes twenty-four 10GbE ports, two 40GbE ports, four 10/25/40/50/100GbE or FC8/16/32 ports, and
twenty-four 10GbE or FC8/16 ports. Two S4148U-ONs are used as leaf switches in this guide for Fibre
Channel connectivity to the SAN and Ethernet connectivity to the leaf-spine network.
2.1.2
Dell EMC PowerSwitch S3048-ON
The Dell EMC PowerSwitch S3048-ON is a 1-RU switch with forty-eight 1GbE BASE-T ports and four 10GbE
SFP+ ports. In this document, one S3048-ON supports out-of-band (OOB) management traffic for all
examples.
2.2
Storage arrays, Fibre Channel switches, and servers
This section details the supplemental hardware used to validate a complete storage solution. Comparable
hardware models can be substituted for the hardware listed in this section to operate on the network topology
described in this document.
