Scenario 1: Deploying the Dell PowerConnect 8024 Series FSB in
a Cisco 5000 Series Switch (NPIV) environment
a Cisco 5000 Series Switch (NPIV) environment
This first example is a basic, single connection between devices example using the Dell PowerConnect
M8024-k. This configuration is being shown for the purposes of simplification and potentially easing into
the progression of a more in-depth setup. It is also easier to use a simple configuration such as this
setup to aid in troubleshooting of the initial install. In a typical business environment most
configurations will be scaled to include several connections between servers and storage. The scenarios
following this one will show some of these larger configurations. Note that this configuration will also
work in the rack server environment with Dell PowerConnect 8024F switch
