Preinstallation Checklist for Cisco HyperFlex Edge, Release 4.0

Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

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.
