Setup Guide

NOTE: For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
interface ethernet 1/1/1
description Node-A-Port_0
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200,400
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
spanning-tree port type edge
exit
4. Repeat steps on switch 1 for Node B, port 1, as demonstrated below.
NOTE: For iSCSI best practices, it is recommended to disable flow control as demonstrated below.
configure terminal
interface ethernet 1/1/54
description Node-B-Port-1
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200,400
flowcontrol receive off
flowcontrol transmit off
spanning-tree port type edge
exit
5. Repeat steps on switch 2 connectivity to Node A Port 0 and Node B Port 1 as demonstrated below.
While configuring Switch 2, note that the ethernet interfaces are reversed. Ethernet interface 1 is configured on Node-B-
Port-1 and interface 54 is configured on Node-A-Port-0 as demonstrated below.
