Nexus 3064T basic setup

[Lakeram Harrypersaud]

Hi Guys,

We just bought 2 Nexus 3064T switches for our ISCSI network. I need some help on how to set them up. We only have one VLAN. I have setup many Catalyst switches before but never one of these. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks,

Lake

Not sure what you really want to achieve but did you look into this already? http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/nexus-3064-t-switch/model.html#ConfigurationGuides

That has the all the documentation about those switches.  After checking that out you can tell us what you need help with.

Thanks for your reply. One of the question i have is how to configure jumbo frames?

Thanks,

Look at this:

remember that for Jumbo frames to properly work, you need to set the MTU to the desired value across the complete path, otherwise, your packet will be fragmented where the MTU is not properly set.

If this answered your question, do not hesitate to mark the question as such, so future users can see you found the info you were looking for.

What do you mean by by setting the MTU across the complete path? Do you mean it has to be configured on all the ports?

[Keny Perez · Accepted solution]

It will need to be configured on all the ports where your packets bigger than regular 1500MTU will go through.

Thank you very much.

I will be setting up 2 switches and which will be stacked using a stacking cable. Is there anything specific i have to do regarding stacking?

Thanks,

[Keny Perez]

Not really sure stacking is possible with those guys... I will have to let one of my peers answer that... open a new thread and use the Server Networking section, I am pretty sure you will get an answer right away.
