Install the Reference Configuration File (RCF)

Summary

Hi all,

I might be reading this wrong - and I apologize in advance if that turns out to be the case - but going through the steps for "Step 2: Configure ports" we start with shutting down the switch ports, connected to the cluster ports of the nodes.

In the example, that's for cs2:

(cs2)(Config)# interface 0/1-0/16 (cs2)(Interface 0/1-0/16)# shutdown

Then we proceed with wiping the old config, reconfiguring the switches and applying new RCF at step 9 and check the status of the ports and interfaces.

I think we might be missing a step where we re-enable the ports shut down in the beginning on cs2 (example), although we have a step where we're supposed the check the health of the ports/interfaces.

In my tests the ports doesn't auto come back up after switch reload, so we could add a simple step to re-enable those ports before shutting down the ports on switch cs1 to avoid an issue.

(cs2)(Config)# interface 0/1-0/16 (cs2)(Interface 0/1-0/16)# no shutdown

Thanks!
