Dell C1048P Port Extender Networking Configuration Guide for the C9000 Series - Page 772

• pe-id is a port-extender ID number from 0 to 255. You must enter a pe-id value; there is no default. After you provision a PE, you can manage the PE by entering the pe pe-id command; for example: Dell(conf)# pe 0 Dell(conf-pe-0)# show config NOTE: Dell Networking OS recommends that before you configure the cascade ports on the parent control bridge, ensure that the cascade ports have a default port configuration with no L2 and L3 configuration. 2. Configure the cascade ports on the parent control bridge used to connect to the PE. The cascade ports must be operationally up (the no shutdown command) and have a default port configuration with no L2 and L3 configuration. The port interfaces must be the same type. You can configure up to sixteen control bridge ports in the auto-LAG. PORT-EXTENDER CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf-pe-0)# cascade interface interface-type slot/port-range NOTE: Dell Networking OS recommends not to use RPM Slots 10 and 11 for PE connectivity. • interface interface-type specifies a C9010 10-GbE interface. The only supported value is TenGigabitEthernet slot/port-range. • slot/port-range specifies a C9010 10GbE port, including the slot number and either a single port number, a port range, or a combination of both. • The range of slot numbers is from 0 to 9 for linecard slots. The range of port numbers is from 0 to 23. • Enter a port range with or without spaces; for example, cascade interface tengigabitethernet 0/1-5 or cascade interface tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5. NOTE: Provisioning a PE automatically creates a link aggregation group (LAG or port channel) on the controlling bridge. The generated auto-LAG number is from 257 to 513. All cascade ports configured on the control bridge to connect to the PE become member ports of the auto-LAG. 3. (Optional) Provision a C1048P for port-extender stacking. You can pre-provision a C1048P so that the parent C9010 dynamically discovers and automatically provisions the PE as a stack unit. CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf-pe-0)# stack-unit unit-id type unit-type • unit-id is a stack-unit ID number from 0 to 7. • unit-type is a stack-unit type. The only supported value is C1048P. 4. Verify the provisioned configuration on a C1048P.
