6. Configure Port channel on the external 10G interfaces:

R1-2210(config)#interface Port-Channel 1

R1-2210(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

R1-2210(config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10,20,30,40

R1-2210(config)#interface range

TengigabitEthernet 0/1-4

R1-2210(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode auto

7. Configure the host interfaces by using the following commands:

console#configure

console(config)#interface range TengigabitEthernet1/1-4

console(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk

console(config-if-range)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10,20,30,40

console(config-if-range)#spanning-tree portfast

8. Configure the VLANs by using the following commands:

R1-2210#configure

R1-2210(config)#vlan database

R1-2210(config-vlan)#vlan 10 name Management

Configuring PowerEdge VRTX chassis CMC and

PowerEdge M630 servers for OOB management

After cabling the chassis to the network infrastructure, turn on the chassis and all the PowerEdge

M630servers.

1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the serial connector on the back of the PowerEdge VRTX

chassis and the other end of the cable to the management station (Laptop) serial port.

2. By using a terminal emulation software, access the CMC console. In the console, configure the

connection as follows:

• Baud rate – 115200

• Port –COM1

• Data – 8 bit

• Parity – None

• Stop – 1 bit

• Hardware flow control – Yes

• Software flow control – No

3. Log in to the CMC using the default credentials. The default user name is root and the password is

calvin.

4. Run the following command to set the management IP address for the VRTX chassis:

racadm setniccfg -s <IPv4 Address> <netmask> <IPv4 Gateway>

5. Run the following command to set the iDRAC management IP address for each of the PowerEdge

M630

servers present in the chassis:

Racadm setniccfg –m server-1 –s <IPv4 Address> <netmask> <IPv4 Gateway>

Racadm setniccfg –m server-2 –s <IPv4 Address> <netmask> <IPv4 Gateway>

Racadm setniccfg –m server-3 –s <IPv4 Address> <netmask> <IPv4 Gateway>

Racadm setniccfg –m server-4 –s <IPv4 Address> <netmask> <IPv4 Gateway>
