The Aggregator also detects iSCSI storage devices on all interfaces and auto-configures to optimize performance. Performance optimization operations, such as Jumbo frame size support, STP port-state fast, and disabling of storm control on interfaces connected to an iSCSI storage device, are applied automatically. CLI configuration is necessary only when the configuration includes iSCSI storage devices that cannot be automatically detected and when non-default QoS handling is required. Link Aggregation All uplink ports are configured in a single LAG (LAG 128). Server-facing ports are auto-configured as part of link aggregation groups if the corresponding server is configured for LACP-based NIC teaming. Static LAGs are not supported. Tip: The recommended LACP timeout is long-timeout mode. Link Tracking By default, all server-facing ports are tracked by the operational status of the uplink LAG. If the uplink LAG goes down, the Aggregator loses its connectivity and is no longer operational; all server-facing ports are brought down. Tip: If installed servers do not have connectivity to a ToR switch, check the Link Status LED of uplink ports on the Aggregator. If all LEDs are ON, check the LACP configuration on the ToR switch that is connected to the Aggregator to ensure the LACP is correctly configured. VLANs By default, all Aggregator ports belong to all 4094 VLANs and are members of untagged VLAN 1. You can use the CLI or CMC interface to configure only the required VLANs on a port. When you configure VLANs on server-facing interfaces (ports 1 to 32), you can assign VLANs to a port or a range of ports by entering the vlan tagged or vlan untagged commands in interface configuration mode; for example: FTOS(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/2 - 4 FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan tagged 5,7,10-12 FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan untagged 3 Note: You can also use the CMC interface to configure VLANs. Uplink LAG The tagged VLAN membership of the uplink LAG is automatically configured based on the VLAN configuration of all server-facing ports (ports 1 to 32). Before You Start | 9

Before You Start

The Aggregator also detects iSCSI storage devices on all interfaces and auto-configures to optimize

performance. Performance optimization operations, such as Jumbo frame size support, STP port-state

fast, and disabling of storm control on interfaces connected to an iSCSI storage device, are applied

automatically.

CLI configuration is necessary only when the configuration includes iSCSI storage devices that cannot

be automatically detected and when non-default QoS handling is required.

Link Aggregation

All uplink ports are configured in a single LAG (LAG 128). Server-facing ports are auto-configured as

part of link aggregation groups if the corresponding server is configured for LACP-based NIC teaming.

Static LAGs are not supported.

Tip

: The recommended LACP timeout is long-timeout mode.

Link Tracking

By default, all server-facing ports are tracked by the operational status of the uplink LAG. If the uplink

LAG goes down, the Aggregator loses its connectivity and is no longer operational; all server-facing

ports are brought down.

Tip

: If installed servers do not have connectivity to a ToR switch, check the Link Status LED of uplink

ports on the Aggregator. If all LEDs are ON, check the LACP configuration on the ToR switch that is

connected to the Aggregator to ensure the LACP is correctly configured.

VLANs

By default, all Aggregator ports belong to all 4094 VLANs and are members of untagged VLAN 1.

You can use the CLI or CMC interface to configure only the required VLANs on a port.

When you configure VLANs on server-facing interfaces (ports 1 to 32), you can assign VLANs to a

port or a range of ports by entering the vlan tagged or vlan untagged commands in interface

configuration mode; for example:

Uplink LAG

The tagged VLAN membership of the uplink LAG is automatically configured based on the VLAN

configuration of all server-facing ports (ports 1 to 32).

Note:

You can also use the CMC interface to configure VLANs.

FTOS(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/2 - 4

FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan tagged 5,7,10-12

FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan untagged 3
