Review the ONTAP and NX-OS version requirements and supported configurations for Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 and 9336C-FX2-T storage switches before installation or upgrade.
Configuration requirements
For configuration, you need the appropriate number and type of cables and cable connectors for your switches.
Depending on the type of switch you are initially configuring, you need to connect to the switch console port with the included console cable; you also need to provide specific network information.
Network requirements
You need the following network information for all switch configurations.
-
IP subnet for management network traffic
-
Host names and IP addresses for each of the storage system controllers and all applicable switches
