30 Dell EMC Networking FCoE-to-Fibre Channel Deployment with S4148U-ON in F_port Mode | version 1.0
Create a server-facing VLAN interface for IP traffic. Use the same VLAN ID, VLAN 50 in this example, on both
leaf switches. Assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The address must be unique but on the same
network on both leaf switches. Configure VRRP to use VRRP version 3. Create a VRRP group and specify
the group’s virtual IP address.

Note: Additional configuration commands for the downstream Ethernet interfaces above are provided as
part of Fibre Channel configuration in Section 5.2.2.
The two upstream layer 3 interfaces connected to the spine switches are configured. The IP addresses match
those in Dell EMC Networking Layer 3 Leaf-Spine Deployment and Best Practices with OS10
. Configure a
loopback interface to be used as the router ID for BGP.
Note: If multiple loopback interfaces exist on a system, the interface with the highest numbered IP address
is used as the router ID. This configuration only uses one loopback interface.
