We have xCat working fine with Dell 3048-ON switches (currently running
9.14).
We mostly used
https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/networks/switchdiscover/switch_based_switch_discovery.html
as a reference
However I use version 2c, as I was never very successful with v3 and we
dont need the additional security.
The other trap is that the documentation says that snmpv1 is used by
default, however from my observations v3 is used by default.
On the switch you need the following configuration
snmp-server community public ro
I am unsure what traps need to be enabled, for completeness here all of the
ones that we have enabled. I would appreciate if someone else on list could
say which ones are needed by xCat
snmp-server enable traps bgp
snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication coldstart linkdown linkup
syslog-reachable syslog-unreachable
snmp-server enable traps vrrp
snmp-server enable traps lacp
snmp-server enable traps entity
snmp-server enable traps stack
snmp-server enable traps stp
snmp-server enable traps ecfm
snmp-server enable traps vlt
snmp-server enable traps xstp
snmp-server enable traps isis
snmp-server enable traps config
snmp-server enable traps envmon cam-utilization fan supply temperature
snmp-server enable traps ecmp
Then its just a matter of setting up the switch definition and pointing the
hosts at it. The following is based on some nodes that were recently added
to my system, so you would need to modify for your environment
# create the switch definition with snmp settings
mkdef -t node 1g05 groups=switches ip=100.64.24.27 nodetype=switch
snmppassword=public snmpversion=2c
# create a node group that defines the switchport based on the node number
mkdef -t group 1g05-d03-41 switch=1g05 switchport='|\D+(\d+)|($1-60)|'
# create the node definitions
mkdef -t node comp[061-080] groups=compute,1g05-d03-41,all,ipmi
makehosts
makedns
makegocons
Then you can turn on the nodes they should be discovered and setup.
Cheers,
Carl.
