Enterprise switch configuration
Cabling
In this solution, the ESX server and VNX Data Mover cabling are evenly spread across two line
cards to provide redundancy and load balancing of the network traffic.
Server uplinks
The server uplinks to the switch are configured in a port channel group to increase the
utilization of server network resources and to provide redundancy. The vSwitches are
configured to load balance the network traffic on the originating port ID.
We used the following configuration for one of the server ports in this solution:
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
spanning-tree portfast trunk
Data Movers
The network ports for each VNX5700 Data Mover are connected to the Ethernet switch. The
ports are configured with LACP, which provides redundancy in case of a NIC or port failure.
