iSCSI SANs | SCG4077
2.3 Delete startup configuration
Note: This example assumes a switch is using the default configuration settings. Using the delete startup-
configuration command will set the startup configuration file to its default settings. Always back up your
configuration settings prior to performing any configuration changes.
OS10# delete startup-configuration
Proceed to delete startup-config [confirm yes/no(default)]yes
OS10# reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]no
Proceed to reboot the system? [confirm yes/no]yes
Note: The switch will reboot.
2.4 Configure out-of-band management port
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address <ipaddress>/<subnet>
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit
2.5 Configure login credentials
OS10(config)# username admin password <password> role sysadmin
2.6 Configure QSFP or QSFP28 ports as breakout port (optional)
Identify the QSFP (40GbE) or QSFP28 (100GbE) port numbers that will be configured as breakout ports.
Note: Breakout cables are required when using breakout interfaces.
QSFP ports 1/1/40 and 1/1/41 have the following breakout capabilities:
• 40g-1x: 1 x 40Gb interface
• 10g-4x: 4 x 10Gb interfaces
QSFP28 ports 1/1/42 to 1/1/48 have the following breakout capabilities:
• 100g-1x: 1 x 100Gb interface
• 50g-2x: 2 x 50Gb interfaces
• 40g-1x: 1 x 40Gb interface
• 25g-4x: 4 x 25Gb interfaces
• 10g-4x: 4 x 10Gb interfaces
Example: Configure a QSFP port as a 4 x 10GbE breakout.
OS10(config)# interface breakout 1/1/<port-number> map 10g-4x
