www.dell.com | support.dell.com Other Auto-Configured Settings After the Aggregator powers on, it auto-configures and is operational with software features enabled, including: • Ports: Ports are administratively up and auto-configured to operate as hybrid ports to transmit tagged and untagged VLAN traffic. Ports 1 to 32 are internal server-facing ports, which can operate in either 1GbE or 10GbE mode. Ports 33 to 56 are external ports auto-configured to operate by default as follows: - The base-module ports operate in standalone 4x10GbE mode. You can configure these ports to operate in 40GbE stacking mode. When configured for stacking, the 40GbE base-module ports cannot be used for uplinks. - Ports on the 2-Port 40-GbE QSFP+ module operate only in 4x10GbE mode. They cannot be used for stacking. - Ports on the 4-Port 10-GbE SFP+ and 4-Port 10GBASE-T modules operate only in 10GbE mode. For more information on how ports are numbered, see Port Numbering. • Link aggregation: All uplink ports are configured in a single LAG (LAG 128). • VLANs: All ports are configured as members of all (4094) VLANs. All VLANs are up and can send or receive layer 2 traffic. For more information, see VLAN Membership. • Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX): Server-facing ports auto-configure in auto-downstream port roles; uplink ports auto-configure in auto-upstream port roles. • Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity and FCoE Initiation Protocol (FIP) snooping: The uplink port channel (LAG 128) is enabled to operate in FCF port mode. • Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): Enabled on all ports to advertise management TLV and system name with neighboring devices. • iSCSI optimization • IGMP snooping • Jumbo frames: Ports are set to a maximum MTU of 12,000 bytes by default. • Link tracking: Uplink-state group 1 is automatically configured. In uplink state-group 1, server-facing ports auto-configure as downstream interfaces; the uplink port-channel (LAG 128) auto-configures as an upstream interface. Server-facing links are auto-configured to be brought up only if the uplink port-channel is up. • Stacking is not enabled by default and is supported in 40GbE mode only on the basemodule ports. To configure a switch stack, you must use the CLI. See Stacking for more information. 4 | Before You Start
