The following mode command converts 25GbE switch ports to 10GbE, allowing 10GbE network devices to
attach to the 25GbE switch at the lower speed. The converted port’s new port names end in :1.
S5248-Leaf1A(config)# port-group 1/1/12
S5248-Leaf1A(conf-pg-1/1/12)# mode Eth 10g-4x
S5248-Leaf1A(conf-pg-1/1/12)# exit
Save the configuration.
S5248-Leaf1A(config-line-vty)# end
S5248-Leaf1A# write memory
Note: IP configuration for VLAN IDs 1634 (on Leaf1A) and 1635 (on Leaf1B) is optional. A gateway is not
required for the two VxFlex data networks. When connecting external SDC's it is recommended to use IP's on
the same subnet. Connecting SDC's via router on a different subnet is supported and will require manual
configuration of static routes on the SVM and the ESXi as described in Appendix B.
4.3 Verify switch configuration
The following sections provide the commands and outputs that are used to verify the configuration of the
switches, and to ensure that they are correctly connected. Except where there are fundamental differences,
the only output that is shown is the S5248F-Leaf1A switch. The output from S5248F-Leaf1B is similar.
4.3.1 show vlt domain id
The show vlt domain-id command validates the VLT configuration status when the VLTi Link Status is
up. The role of one switch in the VLT pair is primary (shown) and its peer switch is assigned the secondary
role.
The Inter-chassis link (ICL) Link Status, Heart Beat Status, and VLT Peer Status must all be up. The role of
one switch in the VLT pair is Primary, and its peer switch (not shown) is assigned the Secondary role. Peer
routing is also enabled leaving timers at system defaults.
