Nexus 3000 (3048) initial configuration

[5mall5nail5]

Hi all - first time administrating Nexus.  Going to be configuring Cisco Nexus 3048.  I am used to Dell configuration (PE5548).  Is there anything I need to know about configuring this switch?

Thanks!

The only thing I would say to get use to is that everything is a feature within the NX-OS operating system I.E. if you want to configure an SVI you have to first install the feature with feature interface-vlan. There are other examples for this as well that include vpc, vtp, ntp and so on.

I would start with this guide .

There is also a good comparison to IOS (similar to the Dell switches) and NX-OS variants.
