Pre-Deployment Flowchart
NOTE: The pre-deployment flowchart does not list all the prerequisites. This flowchart does not include obtaining
the fabric interlink and loop back IP address groups. For more information, see Prerequisites.
Pre-Deployment Screens
To provide the fabric the minimum configuration to the switches, use the following Pre-deployment screens. These
screens automate the deployment process.
• Assign Switch Identities— Assigns a system media access control (MAC) address to each switch in the fabric. You
can optionally assign serial numbers and service tags to each switch.
• DHCP Integration — Creates a dhcp.cfg file that loads the correct software image and then a configuration file for
each type of switch. The DHCP server also uses this file to assign a management IP address to each switch.
NOTE: Install the DHCP configuration file on the DHCP server before you deploy the fabric.
• Downlink Port Configuration — (for a Layer 2 VLT fabric or Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT) ) Associates each of
the ports of a access switch to one or more VLANs. You can associated one or more tagged VLANs and for an
untagged VLAN only one is allowed.
• Downlink Configuration — (for a Layer 3 Distributed Core or Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT) fabric) An edge
port that connects to the access layer; for example, servers or a ToR.
