3. Configure the cascade ports on the C9010 which are attached to PE stack units. The cascade ports must be operationally up (the no
shutdown command) and have a default port configuration with no L2 and L3 configuration. The port interfaces must be the same
type. You can configure up to sixteen C9010 ports in the auto-LAG. The generated auto-LAG number is from 258 to 513.
PORT-EXTENDER CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf-pe-0)# cascade interface interface-type slot/port-range
interface interface-type specifies a C9010 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The only supported value is
TenGigabitEthernet slot/port-range.
slot/port-range specifies a C9010 10GbE port, including slot number and either a single port number, a port range, or a
combination of both for auto-LAG configuration.
The range of slot numbers is from 0 to 9 for linecard slots. The range of port numbers is from 0 to 23.
Enter a port range with or without spaces; for example, cascade interface tengigabitethernet 0/1-5 or cascade
interface tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5.
You can enter up to six comma-separated ranges or port numbers; for example, cascade interface
tengigabitethernet 0/1-2,8,10–12,15.
4. Enable the C9010 cascade ports.

NOTE:
Dell Networking OS recommends not to use RPM Slots 10 and 11 for PE connectivity.
