Node Network ports used
H615C A and B
VLAN configuration
As a best practice, you should configure the required network segments on all switch ports that the nodes are
using. For example:
Network name VLAN ID Switch port configuration
Management 100 Native
Storage 105 Tagged
vMotion 107 Tagged
Virtual machines 200, 201 Tagged
The following illustration shows the recommended cabling configuration for two-cable H410C compute nodes
and four-cable H410S storage nodes. All switch ports in this example share the same configuration.
Example switch commands
You can use the following example commands to configure all switch ports used for NetApp HCI nodes. These
commands are based on a Cisco configuration, but might require only small changes to apply to Mellanox
switches. See your switch documentation for the specific commands you need to implement this configuration.
Replace the interface name, description, and VLANs with the values for your environment.
interface {interface name, such as EthernetX/Y or GigabitEthernetX/Y/Z}
description {desired description, such as NetApp-HCI-NodeX-PortY}
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 100
switchport trunk allowed vlan 105,107,200,201
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
Some switches might require inclusion of the native VLAN in the allowed VLAN list. See the
documentation for your specific switch model and software version.
