Configure the BES-53248 cluster switch
Follow these steps to perform an initial setup of the BES-53248 cluster switch.
-
Hardware is installed, as described in Install the hardware.
-
You have reviewed the following:
The examples in the configuration procedures use the following switch and node nomenclature:
-
The NetApp switch names are
cs1
andcs2
. The upgrade starts on the second switch, cs2. -
The cluster LIF names are
node1_clus1
andnode1_clus2
for node1, andnode2_clus1
andnode2_clus2
for node2. -
The IPspace name is Cluster.
-
The
cluster1::>
prompt indicates the name of the cluster. -
The cluster ports on each node are named
e0a
ande0b
. See the NetApp Hardware Universe for the actual cluster ports supported on your platform. -
The Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) supported for the NetApp switches are ports 0/55 and 0/56.
-
The node connections supported for the NetApp switches are ports 0/1 through 0/16 with default licensing.
-
The examples use two nodes, but you can have up to 24 nodes in a cluster.
-
Connect the serial port to a host or serial port.
-
Connect the management port (the RJ-45 wrench port on the left side of the switch) to the same network where your TFTP server is located.
-
At the console, set the host-side serial settings:
-
115200 baud
-
8 data bits
-
1 stop bit
-
parity: none
-
flow control: none
-
-
Log in to the switch as
admin
and press Enter when prompted for a password. The default switch name is routing. At the prompt, enterenable
. This gives you access to Privileged EXEC mode for switch configuration.Show example
User: admin Password: (Routing)> enable Password: (Routing)#
-
Change the switch name to cs2.
Show example
(Routing)# hostname cs2 (cs2)#
-
To set a static IP address, use the
serviceport protocol
,network protocol
, andserviceport ip
commands as shown in the example.The serviceport is set to use DHCP by default. The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address are assigned automatically.
Show example
(cs2)# serviceport protocol none (cs2)# network protocol none (cs2)# serviceport ip ipaddr netmask gateway
-
Verify the results using the command:
show serviceport
Show example
(cs2)# show serviceport Interface Status............................... Up IP Address..................................... 172.19.2.2 Subnet Mask.................................... 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway................................ 172.19.2.254 IPv6 Administrative Mode....................... Enabled IPv6 Prefix is ................................ fe80::dac4:97ff:fe71:123c/64 IPv6 Default Router............................ fe80::20b:45ff:fea9:5dc0 Configured IPv4 Protocol....................... DHCP Configured IPv6 Protocol....................... None IPv6 AutoConfig Mode........................... Disabled Burned In MAC Address.......................... D8:C4:97:71:12:3C
-
Configure the domain and name server:
configure
Show example
(cs2)# configure (cs2) (Config)# ip domain name company.com (cs2) (Config)# ip name server 10.10.99.1 10.10.99.2 (cs2) (Config)# exit (cs2) (Config)#
-
Configure the NTP server.
-
Configure the time zone and time synchronization (SNTP):
sntp
Show example
(cs2)# (cs2) (Config)# sntp client mode unicast (cs2) (Config)# sntp server 10.99.99.5 (cs2) (Config)# clock timezone -7 (cs2) (Config)# exit (cs2) (Config)#
For EFOS version 3.10.0.3 and later, use the command
ntp
.ntp
Show example
(cs2)configure (cs2)(Config)# ntp ? authenticate Enables NTP authentication. authentication-key Configure NTP authentication key. broadcast Enables NTP broadcast mode. broadcastdelay Configure NTP broadcast delay in microseconds. server Configure NTP server. source-interface Configure the NTP source-interface. trusted-key Configure NTP authentication key number for trusted time source. vrf Configure the NTP VRF. (cs2)(Config)# ntp server ? ip-address|ipv6-address|hostname Enter a valid IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname. (cs2)(Config)# ntp server 10.99.99.5
-
Configure the time manually:
clock
Show example
(cs2)# config (cs2) (Config)# no sntp client mode (cs2) (Config)# clock summer-time recurring 1 sun mar 02:00 1 sun nov 02:00 offset 60 zone EST (cs2) (Config)# clock timezone -5 zone EST (cs2) (Config)# clock set 07:00:00 (cs2) (Config)# *clock set 10/20/2020 (cs2) (Config)# show clock 07:00:11 EST(UTC-5:00) Oct 20 2020 No time source (cs2) (Config)# exit (cs2)# write memory This operation may take a few minutes. Management interfaces will not be available during this time. Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y Config file 'startup-config' created successfully. Configuration Saved!
