Key Items:
·
Both MXL switches (MXL-1 and MXL-2 from our example) will have the basic default
settings for downlink (server facing ports) unless regular VLAN configurations are done
at this point for Ethernet traffic.
·
The 4 uplinks (te 0/49-52) to the Cisco Nexus switches will all be configured for the
same PortChannel even though 2 of these will be split off to go to the secondary Cisco
Nexus.
·
Note also that the portmode hybrid and switchport settings are not configured on the
individual uplink ports but only on the PortChannel. If these configurations are done on
the individual ports they will have to be removed for later configuration.
