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.
