1GE Dual Switch

Nexus 5548 using trunk ports

This configuration uses DHCP with in-band management using native vlan 105. This switch connects to both 1GE LOMs and uses dhcp relay.

Repeat the same configuration on switch #2. Eliminate the dhcp relay and interface Vlan 105 commands.

Catalyst 3850-48T using trunk ports

This configuration uses statically-assigned CIMC IPs on vlan 105. All vlans are allowed on all trunk interfaces. For security purposes, we recommend restricting the VLANs to those required for a HyperFlex deployment by adding the switchport trunk allowed vlan statement into all your port configurations.
