You configure Cisco Nexus 9808 switches as part of a new AFX 2K system installation, a supervisor module replacement, or a switch reset to factory default settings.
You might be directed to this workflow or to individual topics in this workflow as needed when you Install and set up a new AFX 2K system, Replace FRUs, or Reset a switch to factory default settings.
After you power on the switches, they begin to boot and enter the configuration wizard. You are prompted to provide answers to a series of questions to perform the initial (startup) configuration of the switches.
Review cabling and configuration requirements.
Install the current version of NX-OS on the switches that supports your AFX 2K system.
Install the current version of reference configuration file (RCF) on the switches that supports your AFX 2K system. The link brings you to the reference configuration file (RCF) install or upgrade overview topic, which has information you need to know before you install the RCF.
Verify SSH is enabled so that you can use the Ethernet switch health monitor (CSHM) log collection feature.
Configure the Ethernet switch health monitoring (CSHM) to ensure the operational health of your switches and for the collection of switch logs for debugging and troubleshooting.
ONTAP supports Ethernet switch health monitoring (CSHM) to monitor the AFX cluster switches, as well as the ability to collect switch diagnostic logs. Cisco's Smart Call Home is an option to provide proactive support and help you resolve any issues that might arise with the switches.
