Dell recommended switch configuration

These steps show you how to configure two S4810 switches with a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). The
switches are interconnected using two of the 40 GbE Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) uplink
ports, and the LAG is configured for Dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
2.1

Hardware configuration

1. Power on the two switches.
2. Connect a serial cable to the serial port of the first switch.
3. Using Putty or another terminal utility, open a serial connection session to the switch.
4. Open your terminal emulator and configure it to use the serial port (usually COM1 but this may
vary depending on your system). Configure serial communications for 9600,N,8,1 and no flow
control.
5. Connect the (QSFP) LAG cables between the switches, by connecting port 48 on switch 1 to port
48 on switch2 and port 52 on switch 1 to port 52 on switch 2. See this configuration in Figure 1.
