For information about how to access the CMC to configure the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module, see the

Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC) User’s Guide on the Dell Support website at http://

www.dell.com/support/manuals. The CMC online help provides information about how to use the Web

interface.

For more information about the FN I/O Module configuration, see the Dell Networking Configuration

Guide for the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module.

Auto-Configuration

After the FN I/O Module powers on, it auto-configures and is operational with the following software

features enabled:

• VLANs: In Standalone mode, all ports are configured as members of all VLANs (4094). All VLANs are

up and can send or receive Layer 2 traffic.

• Data center bridging capability exchange protocol (DCBX).

• Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity.

• FCoE initiation protocol (FIP) snooping.

• Hybrid ports: Ports are administratively up and auto-configured to operate as hybrid ports to transmit

tagged and untagged VLAN traffic.

• Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) optimization.

• Internet group management protocol (IGMP) snooping.

• Jumbo frames: Ports are set to a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 12,000 bytes.

• Link aggregation: All uplink ports are configured in a single link aggregation group (LAG) (LAG 128).

• Link layer discovery protocol (LLDP): Enabled on all ports.

• Link tracking: Enables server-facing links to be brought up only if the uplink LAG is operationally up.

• NPIV Proxy Gateway: The default port mode of 2 FC and 2 Ethernet ports in FN 2210S provides NPIV

Proxy Gateway functionality.

Stacking

In the Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module, the FN 410S and FN 410T support stacking. The FN 2210S does

not support stacking.

The switch supports both ring and daisy-chain topology and stacking of the same type. FN 410S and FN

410T support two-unit in-chassis stacking and up to six units stacking across the chassis.
