100 PowerEdge FX2 – FN I/O Module – VLT Deployment Guide | Version 2.2
E FN IOM initial out-of-box configuration and default
settings
This section applies to the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module (FN IOM) in Standalone mode. Modules in
this section include the FN410S, FN410T, and FN2210S (applicable to ports in Ethernet mode only).
This section provides configuration examples for common upstream switches to establish a functional
uplink and bring up network ports on PowerEdge FC-Series servers (FC830, FC630, FC430, FC620
and FC420) in three easy steps:
1. Ensure the FN IOM is in Standalone Mode
2. Create an LACP LAG on the upstream top-of-rack (ToR) switch
3. Verify the connection
Note: This section covers basic configuration in a factory default standalone mode and is not
required for VLT configuration.
By default, the FN IOM is shipped from the factory in Standalone Mode, which consists of the following
