Good day to everyone, im looking of CLI commands Manual, something like:

example:

configure: this command gives you access to global cofiguration of the switch
interface: this command gives access to configuration interfaces
etc, etc...

I really like to say that write up is quite good for us new to the iSCSI game.
I have 1x 5448 swtich that we would like to setup as the iSCSI (VLAN'd) and the rest of the switch to be used for network traffic for the servers we have. Is there any thing special I would need to change to get that going?

this is a good start. but we need more details around:

- best practice for configuration 2x 5424 to act as a primary and secondary switch and the use of LAG or LACP groups (either via copper or fiber ports)

- how to configure VLAN routing for when it comes time to have your iSCSI array replicate it's data to another site (subnet).

- how to configure STP to ensure management uplinks from each switch back to a single core switch

My typical configuration invovles creating the dedicated iSCSI VLAN on the core switch, then setting up an access port uplink on the primary and secondary 5424 on that iSCSI VLAN. I then use the other 3 fiber ports as the LAG/LACP group for the ISL trunk (per Equallogic Guidelines). This essentially gives me a dedicated iSCSI VLAN on the core and the iSCSI switches, and it's routable through the core to be able to route out to external sites for array replication. I can also access the array and other iSCSI devices management from your user networks for day-to-day management, email alerting, etc. etc.

the problem I have is that if the uplink on the primary switch goes doen (or it fails) I lose complete management access to the secondary switch, even though it has it's own dedicated fiber uplink to the core on the iSCSI VLAN.

To get telnet working I entered the following commands otherwise I got the following error message when connecting via telnet:

bad/missing configuration, inaccessible server, user low privileges.

Config as follows:

cosole(config)# aaa authentication login default line
console(config)# aaa authentication enable default line
console(config)# line telnet
console(config-line)# login authentication default
console(config-line)# login enable default
console(config-line)# password whatever

Look under Starting and Configuring the Device in the User guide for more
