13. Set the VLAN tag on each server canister. If this document is used, the tag must be 101.
# Set tag

# Confirm tag

Non-IBM Cumulus switches
If you have a non-IBM Cumulus switch, use the information above as a general reference on how to
modify the switch. The key is to have a designated IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 trunk ports that are
apart of both VLANs.
Modifying existing Cumulus switches
If you are converting a switch that has already non-ESS 3200 using the switch on any port in the range 1 -
12, you need to evacuate one by one those ports. If you are not using ports in the range 1 - 12, you need
to apply the above process.
That means to move the cables on the upper ports in the range 1 - 12 to any free upper port that is not in
the range ports 1 - 12. Equally any lower cable plugged to any port in the range 1 - 12 needs to be moved
to any lower port not in the range of ports 1 - 12.
You must move one cable at the time and wait until the link LED on the destination port comes up. Once
all ports in the range 1-12 are no longer cabled, you can apply the following procedure.
If an existing Cumulus switch must be modied to support IBM Elastic Storage System 3200, the general
guidance are as follows:
1. Free up at least two ports (1 IBM Elastic Storage System 3200) on the existing switch. It is better if you
can free up a block. Ideally, the current conguration is not scattered where it is easy to convert free
ports for IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 usage.
2. Take the existing interfaces le from the switch and modify it for the chosen IBM Elastic Storage
System 3200 ports.
3. Make the modications to the interfaces le.
auto swp10
iface swp10
bridge-pvid 102
bridge-vids 101
Any ports that you designate as IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 ports need to have this
conguration. Consult the default IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 interfaces le for more
information.
4. Copy the new interfaces le to the switch.
5. Reload and verify the interfaces.
6. Set the VLAN tags on the IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 canisters.
