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
R1-2210(config-vlan)#vlan 20 name Cluster
R1-2210(config-vlan)#vlan 30 name LiveMigration
R1-2210(config-vlan)#vlan 40 name VM
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>
