1. If NPAR is NOT in use, both Switch-Dependent (LACP) and Switch Independent teaming methods are supported. 2. If NPAR IS in use, only Switch Independent teaming methods are supported. Switch-Dependent teaming is NOT supported. The following restrictions are applicable to Switch Dependent (LACP) teaming: 1. The IDRAC shared LOM feature can only be used if "Failover" option on IDRAC is enabled. 2. If the host operating system is Windows, the LACP timer MUST be set to "slow" (also referred to as "normal"). For the list of supported operating systems, see Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 Enclosure Installation and Service Manual. NOTE: In a SmartFabric, if an LACP team is created with four ports and you want to delete two ports from the LACP team, you must delete the entire LACP team and create a new LACP team with two ports. For detailed NIC teaming instructions, refer to the network adapter or operating system documentation. OS10 CLI commands available in SmartFabric mode When operating in SmartFabric mode, most of the switch configuration is managed through the OME-Modular GUI. Some OS10 functionality, such as Layer 3 routing, is disabled. A switch operating in Fabric mode supports all OS10 show commands, but only a subset of CLI configuration commands. For more information about supported CLI configuration commands, see the Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide.
