This chapter describes daisy chain topology for Cisco NCS 1010, including management-port configuration, verification, storm control, and DAD settings for nodes.
Daisy chain topology
This section explains daisy chain topology and how connected Cisco NCS 1010 nodes maintain management connectivity through the ring arrangement.
Configure daisy chain on management ports
Use this procedure to configure daisy chain on management ports so that Cisco NCS 1010 nodes can support management connectivity.
Verify daisy chain
Use this procedure to verify daisy chain status so that you can confirm management connectivity and topology behavior after configuration.
Enable storm control on TOR switch
Use this procedure to enable storm control on the TOR switch so that the daisy chain topology limits excessive traffic.
Disable DAD on the management port
Use this procedure to disable DAD on the management port when the daisy chain topology requires duplicate address detection to be turned off.
