102 PowerEdge FX2 – FN I/O Module – VLT Deployment Guide | Version 2.2
To accomplish this, start by connecting any combination of the FN IOM’s external Ethernet ports (ports
Te 0/9-12) to the upstream switch. The port channel may have from one to four links. Configure a port
channel on your upstream switch, as shown in the following examples.
Upstream Switch Configuration Examples
Note the following when configuring the upstream switch:
No configuration is required on the FN IOM. All configuration is done on the upstream switch.
In each example, four interfaces are configured in the port channel. You will only need to
configure as many interfaces as you have connected. Change the port numbers shown to
match your switch.
Any valid ID number can be used for the port channel number on the upstream switch. The
examples below use port channel 128 except for the Cisco Nexus. On the Nexus, 128 is
reserved so 10 has been assigned instead.
