Before you deploy the Telco Cloud Platform RAN components, you must cable the physical switches. You must also enable VLAN trunking and jumbo frames for all switch ports.

Procedure

  1. Connect a minimum of two leaf physical switches to the ToR. For more details, see the Layer 2 Transport diagram.
  2. Connect the uplinks for each ESXi host to the physical switches in redundant mode.
  3. Enable VLAN trunking and jumbo frames on the physical switch ports.
