Important Points to Remember
• You can perform the following tasks using the commands described in this chapter:
• Provisioning a Port Extender
• Managing a Port Extender
• PE Stacking
• You must configure the feature extended-bridge command to turn on support for PE configuration on a C9010.
• The GVRP and FRRP protocols are not supported on the PE ports.
NOTE: Dell Networking OS recommends not to use RPM Slots 10 and 11 for PE connectivity.
For information on the commands you can enter from a PE console to configure a port extender, see the PE Console chapter.
