NOTE: The URL attribute is displayed as "N/A" on the Hardware > Device Management Info page for FC IOMs, owing to device capability limitations. For Port Information, when you enable auto-negotiation, peer devices exchange capabilities such as speed and settle on mutually acceptable configuration. However, when the auto-negotiation is disabled, the peer devices may not exchange capabilities. Hence, Dell EMC recommends that the configuration on both peer devices is identical. The guidelines for auto-negotiation process are as follows: • MX9116n, MX7116n, and MX5108n IOMs support only 25G speeds on server facing ports. • By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on server facing 25G ports, as per the IEEE 802.3 Standard mandate. • You can enable or disable auto-negotiation, but cannot configure speed on server facing ports. • When auto-negotiation is enabled, Ethernet switches display speed capability of only 25G.

To configure the networking settings: 1. Click All Devices > I/O Modules > View Details > Settings > Network or Devices > I/O Modules > View Details > Settings > Network. 2. In the IPv4 Settings section, select Enable IPv4. 3. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway for the management port. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway options are enabled only if the Enable DHCP check box is cleared. NOTE: For MX5108n and MX9116n IOMs, the default prefix length of the DHCP IP is 128 bits, though the DHCP server is configured for 64 bits. 4. In the IPv6 Settings section, select Enable IPv6. 5. Enter the IPv6 Address, select the Prefix Length. The IPv6 Address, Prefix Length, and Gateway options are enabled only if the Enable Autoconfiguration check box is cleared. 6.

Switch IOMs:
•
Network
•
Administrator password
•
SNMP
