4 Configure physical switches
This section contains switch configuration details with explanations for one switch. The remaining switch uses
a configuration very similar. Complete configuration files for both switches are provided as attachments.
4.1 Factory Default Settings
The configuration commands in the sections below assume switches are at their factory default settings. All
switches in this guide can be reset to factory defaults as follows:
switch# restore factory-defaults stack-unit unit# clear-all
Proceed with factory settings? Confirm [yes/no]:yes
Factory settings are restored, and the switch reloads. After reload, enter A at the [A/C/L/S] prompt as shown
below to exit Bare Metal Provisioning mode.
This device is in Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) mode.
To continue with the standard manual interactive mode, it is necessary to abort
BMP.
Press A to abort BMP now.
Press C to continue with BMP.
Press L to toggle BMP syslog and console messages.
Press S to display the BMP status.

The switch is now ready for configuration.
4.2 S5048F-ON leaf switch configuration
The following section outlines the configuration commands issued to S5048F-ON leaf switches. The switches
start at their factory default settings per Section 4.1.
Note: The following configuration details are specific to S5048F, Leaf 1. The remaining leaf switch is similar.
Complete configuration details for both leaf switches are provided in the attachments named S5048-Leaf1.txt
and S5048-Leaf2.txt.
Initial configuration involves setting the hostname and enabling LLDP. LLDP is useful for troubleshooting. The
VLT backup interface is configured with an IP address. Next, a policy map is created to trust all incoming
DiffServ markings (see Section 7.2).
