About this Guide

This guide describes the supported protocols and software features, and provides configuration instructions

and examples, for the Dell Networking Operating System (OS).

Dell Networking FN IOM is available with running Dell Networking OS version 9.9(0.0).

The FN IOM is installed in a Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis. For information about how to install and

perform the initial switch configuration, refer to the Getting Started Guides on the Dell Support website at

http://www.dell.com/support/manuals

Though this guide contains information about protocols, it is not intended to be a complete reference. This

guide is a reference for configuring protocols on Dell Networking systems. For complete information about

protocols, refer to other documentation, including IETF requests for comment (RFCs). The instructions in this

guide cite relevant RFCs, and Standards Compliance contains a complete list of the supported RFCs and

management information base files (MIBs).

NOTE

: You can perform some of the configuration tasks described in this document by using either the

Dell command line or the chassis management controller (CMC) graphical interface. Tasks supported by

the CMC interface are shown with the CMC icon: CMC
