2 Before You Start By following the instructions in the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Aggregator Getting Started Guide that is shipped with the product, you install the Aggregator in a Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis. The Aggregator installs with zero-touch configuration. After you power it on, an Aggregator boots up with default settings and auto-configures with software features enabled. This chapter describes the default settings and software features that are automatically configured at startup. Use the tasks described in the other chapters to reconfigure the Aggregator for customized network operation. IOA Operational Modes IOA supports three operational modes. Select the operational mode that meets your deployment needs. To enable a new operational mode, configure the new mode and reload the switch. Standalone mode stack-unit unit iom-mode standalone CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf)#stack-unit 0 iom-mode standalone This is the default mode for IOA. It is a fully automated zero-touch mode that allows you to configure VLAN memberships. (Supported in CMC) VLT mode stack-unit unit iom-mode vlt CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf)#stack-unit 0 iom-mode vlt Select this mode to multi-home server interfaces to different IOA modules. This is a low-touch mode where all configuration except VLAN membership is automated. To enable VLAN, you must configure the VLANs at the server port level. In this mode, port 9 link, which is associated with LAG-127, is dedicated to VLT interconnect. Programmable MUX mode stack-unit unit iom-mode programmable-mux CONFIGURATION mode 19
