uplinks and interlink connections (links between the Dell EMC switches).

2. Write these configurations:

• Hostname

• Management IP address if any

• DNS and NTP IP addresses if configured

• Spanning-tree mode; SmartFabric Services run RPVST by default

• Other spanning-tree parameters

3. Ensure that the new Dell EMC switch has the same OS10 version as the existing Dell EMC show.
